A motion for judgment on the pleadings shall be treated as a motion for summary judgment where the trial court considers matters outside of the pleadings. Carlson v. Pepin County, 167 Wis . 2d 345 , 481 N.W. 2d 498 (Ct . App. 1992) . II . WIS . STAT. § 66 . 1014, LIMITS ON RESIDENTIAL DWELLING RENTAL PROHIBITED, I.E. , WISCONSIN' S RIGHT TO RENT LAW Wis . Stat . § 66 . 1014 , Limits on residential dwelling rental prohibited, also known as Wisconsin' s right to rent law, balances the rights of property owners to rent their homes and the rights cf their neighbors to use and enjoy their property. The law was passed in response to a growing number of local governments banning the rental of residential dwellings for any period of time less than 30 days and prohibits those types of blanket bans . Wisconsin' s right to rent law encourages fair regulation by local governments to regulate short-term rental activity in a fair and reasonable manner. There are significant points regarding the law to pay particular attention to, because there are some restrictions . The first, local governments can regulate, but not prohibit, short- term rentals seven days or longer. Second, local governments can require owners to obtain local permits or licenses to rent their property for short-term rentals . Third, local governments are allowed to place a six-month or 180-day cap on the amount of time property owners can rent out their home during any 365-day period. Moreover, the law allows, but does not require, local governments to mandate the 180 days to be continuous . In communities that have adopted a six-month cap, property owners are allowed to choose which six-month period the dwelling is rented. 4
