We manage a wide range of rental properties across Wisconsin, including multi-family buildings and apartment complexes. Whether you’re looking for a home or a cozy apartment, Bartsch Management offers well-maintained properties to fit every lifestyle and budget.
Our rental properties are located throughout Milwaukee, Waukesha, Racine, Kenosha, Walworth, Washington, Ozaukee, Dodge, Rock, Fond du Lac, Sheboygan, Grant, Jefferson and Winnebago. We can help you find a location that fits your needs.
You can view available listings and submit an application directly through our website. Each listing includes photos, descriptions, rental terms, and a link to our secure online application form.
You’ll need to provide proof of income, employment and rental history and a valid photo ID. Our team reviews applications quickly and contacts qualified applicants for next steps.
To qualify, applicants must meet income, credit, and rental history standards. We generally require income equal to at least three times the monthly rent, as well as a good rental history with no recent evictions or lease violations.
All applications are reviewed fairly in accordance with Fair Housing laws.
Yes. We conduct a comprehensive screening that includes credit, background, employment, and rental history checks. This helps ensure a safe and responsible community for all our residents.
Most applications are processed within 2-3 business days, depending on how quickly we receive verification from employers and previous landlords. We’ll contact you right away once a decision has been made.
Security deposits typically equal one month’s rent, but this may vary by property. The deposit is due at lease signing and is fully refundable at move-out if the property is returned in good condition and all lease terms are met.
Rent is due on the first of each month. Residents can pay rent securely through the online resident portal using a checking account, debit card, or credit card. You can also set up automatic payments to avoid missing a due date.
If you’re unable to pay rent by the due date, please contact us right away. A late fee may apply after the grace period outlined in your lease.
Open communication is important. We'll do our best to work with you if you’re facing temporary financial hardship.
You can submit maintenance requests anytime through the online resident portal. For non-emergency repairs, our maintenance team will respond promptly to schedule service.
For emergencies, such as water leaks, no heat, or electrical hazards, please call our 24/7 emergency line immediately for assistance.
We aim to address non-emergency requests within 24-48 hours, while emergencies receive immediate attention.
Bartsch Management must approve of any and all modifications in writing. Unauthorized alterations may result in fees or loss of your security deposit. We’re happy to discuss reasonable customization requests.
Pet policies vary by property. Many of our rentals are pet-friendly, though breed and size restrictions may apply. Please review the listing or ask your property manager for details before applying.
We’ll contact you 60-90 days before your lease ends to discuss renewal options. If you wish to stay, we’ll provide updated terms and a new lease to sign electronically.
If you need to end your lease before the expiration date, please notify us as soon as possible. Depending on the situation, you may be responsible for paying lease-break fees or rent until a new resident is found. We’ll work with you to make the transition as smooth as possible.
You’ll receive a move-out checklist with cleaning and repair guidelines. Be sure to remove all belongings and trash, thoroughly clean the property and return all keys.
Your security deposit will be returned within 21 days of move-out. You’ll also receive an itemized list of any charges if deductions are necessary.
You can contact our team anytime by phone or email. Our phone number is: (414) 763-7160. Our email is: info@bartschmanagement.com
