EVERY DEADLINE

34 periods Wisconsin law measures, gathered out of the file and put in order, shortest first. Each one says what starts it, whose period it is, and what the law attaches to it. The shortest here is 48 hours. The longest is 6 years.

Every period on this page is stated by a section of the file and carries that section's own authority. None of it is a calculation: a period that turns on facts, on service, or on a court's discretion is described the way the section describes it and no further.

    Intentionally not returning personal property held under a written lease after it expires falls under the theft section, but returning it, other than a motor vehicle, within 10 days after expiry is outside that.

MyRightz is legal education, not legal advice. Nothing here creates an attorney client relationship. Applying the law to a particular situation is the work of a licensed Wisconsin attorney.
