Wyoming notice periods

Periods are as the statute states them: some are minimums, some apply unless the lease sets another. "Lease controls" means there is no statutory period; "No pre-suit notice" means none is required before filing.

What the Wyoming statute says

Unpaid rent 3 days
  • Minimum-late requirement: FED lies against tenants 'after a failure to pay rent for three (3) days after it is due' (W.S. 1-21-1002(a)(i)).
  • Notice to quit: the party desiring to commence an FED action must notify the adverse party to leave; 'The notice shall be served at least three (3) days before commencing the action' (W.S. 1-21-1003). The statute prescribes no pay-or-quit alternative or cure right.
  • Service: by leaving a written copy with the defendant, or at his usual place of abode or business if he cannot be found (1-21-1003).
Lease violation 3 days
  • No statutory cure/comply-or-quit notice. Violations of renter duties or prohibited acts (W.S. 1-21-1204, 1-21-1205) are FED grounds under 1-21-1002(a)(vi), subject only to the 3-day notice to quit in 1-21-1003.
Ending the tenancy without a chance to cure 3 days
  • All FED grounds (holdover, nonpayment 3 days after due, violation of 1-21-1204/1205 renter duties) require only the 3-day notice to quit (1-21-1003); no cure opportunity is provided by statute.
Ending a month-to-month tenancy Lease controls
  • No Wyoming statute prescribing a notice period to end a month-to-month tenancy without cause was found in Title 1 Ch. 21 Arts. 10 and 12; the Wyoming Judicial Branch landlord-tenant guide likewise addresses only FED grounds. The lease governs; after the tenancy ends the tenant is a holdover subject to the 3-day notice to quit (1-21-1003).
Tenant staying after the lease ends 3 days
  • Tenants 'holding over their terms' are an FED ground (1-21-1002(a)(i)); the 3-day notice to quit under 1-21-1003 applies before filing.

For Wyoming landlords

  • Find the period for your situation in the table above and count it from the day the notice is delivered.
  • Deliver the notice the way Wyoming law allows and keep a record of how and when.
  • A notice is not a court order and does not by itself remove a tenant.

For Wyoming tenants

  • Compare the notice you received with the period for its situation in the table above and the date it reached you.
  • A notice is not a court order. If a case is filed, the court papers say how and by when to respond.
  • Local legal aid and tenant organizations can explain your options.

How an eviction generally proceeds

A general outline, not Wyoming law: the steps, their names and their deadlines differ by state and court. The Wyoming rules LeaseCraft has verified are the ones above.

  1. Written notice. The landlord gives the notice the situation calls for and waits out its period.
  2. Court filing. If the tenant has not paid, cured or left, the landlord files an eviction case in court.
  3. Hearing. Both sides can be heard; the tenant may raise defenses such as an improper notice.
  4. Judgment. The court decides who has the right to the property.
  5. Removal. If the court rules for the landlord, removal follows its order. A notice is not a court order and does not by itself remove a tenant.
