Given Wisconsin sucks is there some way to force other payment methods?
I am disappointed I allowed this to occur, I am very picky about my landlord but sadly half the town is under corporate ownership  |
Doubling the rent is a common tactic to get you to move out so the owner can renovate the property and move it upmarket
No, you don't have recourse on the online payments. You can sign the new lease, or not.

Those dirtbags are the reason everything is the cheapest materials possible, because the assumption is they have to get replaced often. It also contributes to "the rent is too dam high".

We've owned our rental duplex for almost 2 years and we've had 5 renters so far. The property manager has only evicted one due to noise complaints from the long term tenant on the other side. After the evict notice was served the tenant reported a kitchen fire. Coincident or not - doesn't matter - it cost me about $5,000.
