My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Wisconsin

Hello again! I rent a lower unit in a house that was converted into an upper/lower, on a 1 year lease. There may be some question of whether or not the apartment is legal based on a discussion for an unrelated issue on this forum, and the interested reader can look at my posting history to read up on that if needed. Utilities are included in the rent, likely due to there only being one meter and no real accurate way to split the cost. When I originally signed the lease, "Company A" was the property manager. The first month I moved in (9 months ago), I did get a power bill in the mail addressed to the property owner, which I did not open, and took to Company A's office. They opened it in front of me and said they would deal with it, and no further bills came.

About 3 months ago, "Company B" took over as property management. It was not a smooth transition to say the least, and I don't intend to renew once my lease is up. For anyone who went and read the historical post, I chose to just keep my head down, smile and nod and just get through the rest of the lease as stress-free as possible. Earlier this week, a notice was on the front door notifying of an impending power disconnect a week from the date of the notice. I am assuming it is due to nonpayment, as I'm not aware of any other reason to disconnect forcibly. Two voicemails to Company B and an email to the named representative went unanswered for 2 business days since the first call, so I don't sense any urgency on their part. As one would expect, the electric company is not helping because I'm not the account owner. A call to Company A for information on the transition resulted in being dismissed as "not a customer, sorry."

Now for the questions:

1.) Is there anything I can do to extend the deadline of the disconnect?

2.) What would be the next step to take?

3.) If Company B drags their feet and the power gets shut down, does that incur any compensable damages? Does having no power through negligence of the landlord raise issues of habitability if they don't act expediently to get it turned back on?

4.) If while this is being dealt with it is discovered that the apartment is indeed illegal, what happens? How long do I have to move out and can you sue for relocation fees, remainder of rent paid for the month or anything like that?

Thanks!
