Yes, in Wisconsin a tenant may be able to change the locks, but only under specific conditions. Generally, tenants cannot change locks without the landlord’s permission unless there is a valid reason, such as protecting personal safety in cases of domestic violence or other emergencies. Wisconsin law also allows tenants to request lock changes, and landlords are typically required to provide a key if locks are changed.
