Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Wisconsin

Yes, either if your lease allows these things, or, even if it does not allow them but you fail to protect your rights in court, (or fail to move out to a better apartment to protect your self), the landlord will get away with all these and not have to pay. Compensation for lease breaches rarely happens on its own; instead, your lawyer needs to fight for it. However, if the situation is sufficiently bad, a judge might also allow you to break your lease on grounds of constructive eviction, and not be held liable to the remaining months if you move out prior to expiration..
