What’s Included in a Wisconsin Portable Tenant Screening Report?
LeaseRunner runs a Wisconsin 704.085-compliant credit check. You can provide the landlord with your qualifying consumer credit report before they order one. The criminal, eviction, cash-flow, and application details in LeaseRunner’s PTSR strengthen your profile, giving landlords more evidence. However, Wisconsin law does not make those sections portable or require a landlord to accept them.

Wisconsin Statute § 704.085: Know Your Fee Protection
Wisconsin has no PTSR law. The state neither creates a general reusable screening report in Wisconsin nor mandates landlords to accept it. Instead, it regulates what landlords can charge local renters for credit and background checks.
No Wisconsin Tenant Credit Report Fee
-
You can provide the landlords with a consumer credit report before they request one. If the report comes from a nationwide CRA in the past 30 days, they cannot charge you for the credit report.
Up to $25 if Landlords Order a Credit Report
-
If you do not provide a qualifying report first, the landlord may charge the actual cost of obtaining one, up to $25. They must notify you before requesting the report and give you a copy.
Up to $25 for Background Checks on Out-of-State Applicants
-
Applicants who are not Wisconsin residents may be charged the landlord’s actual background-check cost, up to $25. The landlord must provide advance notice and a copy of the report.
Potential Double Damages for Violating the Rules
-
If a landlord violates ATCP 134.05(4) and causes you a monetary loss, you can ask for compensation for the loss. It recovers twice the amount of that loss, plus court costs and reasonable attorney fees (Wis. Stat. § 100.20(5)).

Testimonials
Over 15 Years of Trust and Success
I've been using LeaseRunner for years. It makes it easy for tenants to apply and pay for their own screening. I also feel good about the screening fee going directly to a third party, versus me collecting it directly. Reports are clear, and the application gives me almost everything I need for my lease.

LeaseRunner removes the direct contact negatives, like people suspicious of handling personal information over to another who may or may not be legit. I had an applicant accuse me of being a personal information thief! It was all a distraction. Turns out she was a twice-evicted train wreck with terrible credit. Now using LeaseRunner, there is a third element and the process is between the applicant and LeaseRunner. I get my reports and nothing more. Completing the process all online in as little as 1 hour!

I’ve used LeaseRunner for 2 years now (referral from a buddy who has used them for multiple years). LR is really easy to use and very simple. They are great for applications, screenings, and lease documents.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, but its legal benefit is limited. Wisconsin does not require landlords to accept a full portable tenant screening report. However, you can still use it to review and share your rental information. Most importantly, if you give a landlord a qualifying consumer credit report first, Wis. Stat. § 704.085(1)(b) prevents the landlord from charging you for its credit report.
Give it to the landlords before they request a consumer credit report. Timing is essential. The report must also come from a consumer reporting agency that maintains nationwide consumer files and be less than 30 days old. If the landlord requests its report first, the fee protection may no longer apply.
No. The bring-your-own-report rule applies only to the consumer credit report. It does not waive criminal, eviction, or other background-check costs. If you are not a Wisconsin resident, a landlord may also charge its actual background-check cost, up to $25. Landlords must notify you and give you a copy of the report.
You may offer the report, but the housing provider's screening rules and program requirements control what it accepts. Wisconsin law does not guarantee acceptance of a full PTSR in subsidized housing.
The credit-report fee rule also appears in Wis. Admin. Code ATCP 134.05(4). If a violation causes you an actual monetary loss, Wis. Stat. § 100.20(5) may allow you to recover twice that loss, plus court costs and reasonable attorney fees. Keep the fee notice, receipt, report, and proof of when you submitted your own credit report. Then, contact Wisconsin DATCP or a qualified attorney.
Yes! You can check your tenant screening report yourself before submitting it to landlords. This ensures that your rental and credit information is accurate and up-to-date, improving your chances of approval.
A Portable Tenant Screening Report (PTSR) from LeaseRunner costs $20 per applicant aged 18 or older. This one-time, non-refundable fee provides you with a reusable Wisconsin PTSR. Once your payment is complete, your report is generated instantly and available to use.
