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.

The Apartment Association of Northeast Wisconsin and the Fox Valley Apartment Association, are founding members of the Rental Housing Coalition (RHC), a collaborative group of grass-roots-based rental housing associations working together to share state-wide information and perspectives on rental housing-related topics.

State and local policy makers need to hear directly from owners, managers, and investors about how new laws, fees, and regulations affect housing availability, day‑to‑day operations, long‑term affordability, and our residents housing stability. When policy decisions are made without that real‑world context, the unintended consequences often fall hardest on tenants, neighborhoods, and communities—the very people lawmakers intend to help—especially the most vulnerable among those seeking a rental home.

Please Take Action Now...
