How much can they charge me to apply in Wisconsin?
The DATCP guide shows no state cap on application or screening fees. It only covers earnest money deposits: the landlord must return the entire deposit by the end of the next business day if the application is rejected. That is not a screening-fee cap, and no link-only sources are provided.
