 Photographic Evidence Required in Madison For Withholding From Security Deposits

 

A recently adopted amendment to MGO 32.07 now requires that for a landlord to charge a tenant for a claim of damage, waste or neglect from the security deposit,
the landlord must document the damage, waste or neglect with photographic evidence (if the item is able to be photographed) and the photographs must be retained for a specific period of time and provided to the tenant upon timely written request.  

Additionally, this ordinance requires that before a landlord accepts a security deposit from a tenant, as part of the check-in procedures, the tenant must be informed of their right to view photographs documenting and damage, waste or neglect charged to the previous tenant, and the photos are required to be retained by the landlord.
