App fees limited to $25 in WI??

[Patrick M.]

I have my Wisconsin rental listed through cozy.co as well as Zillow.  Cozy.co allows to tenants to submit a background check and credit check for $39.99.  If I'm understanding Wisconsin state law correctly I would have to reimburse the tenant approx. $15 since the maximum charge for Wisconsin is $25?

Or is it $25 for a background and $25 for credit?

I think the number actually went up slightly from 25. Anyway, you’re not charging the fee, cozy is, so you’ll be fine. I know lots of landlords that use those services and I never heard anyone reimburse tenants.
