Wisconsin Court of Appeals
Civil
Property — landlord-tenant — security deposits — standing
Pete and Barb Mercier appeal a summary judgment dismissing their small claims action against Katia Properties, LLC, for failing to return a security deposit or provide an accounting of the deposit. The circuit court granted summary judgment in favor of Katia because the Merciers expressly agreed in their lease that the deposit would be returned to ALE Solutions, Inc., which was the entity that paid the deposit. We conclude the Merciers lack standing to maintain their claim against Katia, and we affirm. This opinion will not be published.
