📣 IMPORTANT UPDATE — 2026 Fall Landlord Boot Camp | Registration Open Now

AANW FVAA — the Apartment Association of Northeast Wisconsin and the Fox Valley Apartment Association — are proud to present the 2026 Fall Landlord Boot Camp.

— Wisconsin's Premier Landlord-Tenant Educational Event! —

If you received Wisconsin Legal Blank's email this past weekend about Attorney Tristan Pettit's newly updated rental forms — the Residential Rental Agreement, Rules & Regulations, and Nonstandard Rental Provisions — you already know the forms that govern every tenancy you manage just received what Pettit himself calls "pretty extensive" revisions. Additional forms have been updated as well.

This Boot Camp on November 14th in Green Bay is where you hear directly from the attorney who wrote those changes — not just what changed, but why, and how to use the updated forms correctly going forward.

We all know what attorneys charge these days. Spending more than 9 hours with one of Wisconsin's leading landlord-tenant law specialists for $199 as an active AANW FVAA member would likely cost you 20 times that amount in a one-on-one session — assuming you could even get on his calendar. You also walk away with the 300+ page searchable PDF "Bible" of Wisconsin Landlord-Tenant Law included. Attendees consistently say it is worth 20 times the cost of admission.

Wisconsin Legal Blank will be on-site with the newly updated forms available for purchase. Hear what changed, and why. Buy the updated forms. Done.

► Early Bird Pricing in Effect — Register by November 4th
► Saturday, November 14th, 2026 | Check-in 8:00 AM
► Townline Pub & Grill, 2544 Lineville Road, Green Bay, WI 54313
► Register at FVAA.info or AANW.org

Wisconsin Supreme Court Decision on Koble v. Marquardt: This Is a Victory for Residents, Owners, Managers, Communities, and Neighborhoods.

You may see today’s Supreme Court ruling in Koble Investments v. Marquardt described as a “win for landlords.” We want to push back on that framing immediately — because it misses the real story entirely.

The wave of litigation that followed the Court of Appeals’ 2024 decision spawned well over 80 copycat lawsuits across Wisconsin. The millions of dollars in legal costs generated by those cases don’t disappear. In a business where rent is the primary source of revenue, those costs get passed on — to residents, through rent increases. Our residents paid for this too. That is the story that needs to be told.

Today, the Wisconsin Supreme Court reversed that appellate decision. The Court ruled — effectively 6-1 — that the Wisconsin Consumer Act does not apply to residential leases. The theory that landlords are “debt collectors” subject to double-damages penalties for enforcing a lease is dead. The notion that a tenant could recover every dollar of rent ever paid, with no offset for the housing they received, based on a technical lease deficiency that caused no actual harm — dead. The economic engine driving 80-plus cases across this state has been shut off.

The decision was clear and robust. Notably, two justices felt the majority didn’t go far enough — they would have declared the entire Wisconsin Consumer Act inapplicable to residential leases, not just the single provision at issue. That is how strong the legal ground beneath our coalition’s position was.

We have been engaged in this fight for more than two years — tracking cases, testifying, helping draft legislation, and contributing to the coalition amicus brief argued before the Court. The work is not finished, but today the legal ground and financial footings beneath Wisconsin’s rental housing market are more stable than they were yesterday.

Memorial Day | May 25, 2026

Memorial Day is not a celebration — it is a day of remembrance and gratitude.

Today, we honor the men and women of our Armed Forces who gave their lives in service to this country, and we reflect on the profound cost of that service. Their sacrifice is the foundation upon which our freedoms rest — including the freedom to build lives, families, businesses, and communities.

To the fallen, and to the families who carry their memory — we are grateful, and we will not forget.
