SUMMARY

Statutes require the Department of Administration (DOA) to administer state-owned residential properties leased to state employees. We found DOA did not comply with all statutory requirements. We also found the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and University of Wisconsin (UW) institutions did not accurately execute lease agreements for all state employees who resided in the properties as of December 2018. We recommend DOA comply with statutory requirements, reassess policies, and increase its monitoring of rental payments charged to state employees to ensure they reflect fair value. We also recommend DNR and UW institutions execute lease agreements that comply with DOA policies.
