lying landlord!

DO NOT RENT from the H. and D. Zeker in Wisconsin. I rented for them for a year and when my lease renewal came I signed it and sent it back. After they received my copy back over a month later they changed the terms. When I confronted them I was screamed at and swore at that I told them it was ok to change it. Because I confronted them They sent me a notice to vacate. I took them to court and they explained to the judge they thought they were helping me saying I said I might not be able to afford to stay. Which was untrue. They then tried to claim almost $3000 in damage. Which which was crazy seeing the only things we broke were a blind and a glass sheet fr0m a cheap cabinet. They wanted a new unit even though they owned it 20 years.  So they didn’t win damages but they claimed it took over 10 hours to clean and remove my belongings. When only a few small items were left and my mother and I cleaned the unit prior to leaving. They are lying landlords that will do anything to get what they want. I’m not writing this to be vindictive but to inform people out there that apparently landlords can break leases without reason and have no consequence but if you as a tenant break a lease you will be responsible for quite a bit. Seems really unfair!!!
