What to know about rental properties in Wisconsin
Wisconsin has a solid rental market, with demand concentrated in Milwaukee, Madison, Green Bay, Kenosha, and Racine. The state has no rent control, and the landlord-tenant laws are moderate — generally balanced between landlord and tenant interests. Property prices are accessible, and the university towns provide consistent rental demand.
Milwaukee's rental vacancy rates hover around 8.2%, while Madison maintains steady occupancy driven by the University of Wisconsin's 47,000-student enrollment. Kenosha and Racine benefit from proximity to Chicago's job market, creating cross-border rental opportunities for investors seeking affordable entry points into Great Lakes region real estate.
Like other Midwestern states, Wisconsin's weather is harsh. The state faces severe winters with heavy snow, extreme cold, and ice storms, along with severe thunderstorms, tornadoes, and hail in the spring and summer. Lake-effect weather from Lake Michigan and Lake Superior adds another dimension of precipitation and wind. Northern Wisconsin regularly experiences temperatures below -20°F, while the southern tier sees an average of 40 inches of annual snowfall combined with spring tornado activity that peaks between April and June.
