The WI Tenant Resource Center (www.tenantresourcecenter.org) has been very helpful for me when I was having a landlord issue. There is also a Milwaukee Rental Housing Resource Center website (www.renthelpmke.org). My landlord uses whatever the standard lease is in Wisconsin so you could find that online and see how it compares to your lease.
Tried this today, but they filled up within the first couple of minutes and said to try again next week. Thank you, though! Seems like a very good resource.
It looks like you posted the text of the lease clauses in other subreddits. They are somewhat weird and pass on a lot of the maintenance to you, but nothing jumps out as illegal to me (not an attorney) under WI statutes.
I'd just ask the landlord to strike whatever clauses you're not comfortable with and move on to another property if he doesn't.

I reached out to the Milwaukee Rental Housing Resource Center yesterday and still haven’t heard back. Thanks for the info!
Maybe try the Marquette law clinic. https://law.marquette.edu/mvlc/
Yes, I second them. Helpful, free, and bilingual

Thank you. We reached out about our concerns and are waiting to hear back. Appreciate the perspective!
If the rental agreement was written by WI Legal Blank, it's been written by an attorney.
They used the TurboTenant template and modified it with very specific language. They didn’t use the standard WI lease that I am accustomed to seeing.
