Required Lease Disclosures

Review the lease disclosures a Wyoming landlord must make:

• Lead-Paint Disclosure: A landlord should disclose whether a building was built before 1978 and provide materials on the risks of exposure to lead-based paint that these buildings may contain. [1]
• Notice of Non-Refundable Deposit: A landlord must specify whether a deposit is non-refundable in the lease agreement. [2]

Security Deposit

• Maximum Amount: No maximum.
• Receipts: Not required.
• Interest Payments: Not required.
• Bank Account: Not required.
• Returning Requirements: The landlord must refund the deposit within 15 days after receiving the tenant’s new mailing address or 30 days after the lease ends, whichever is later. [3]
• Withholding Rules: The tenant must receive a written list itemizing all damages and amounts withheld. [3]

Rent Payments

• Laws: Rent is due on the date specified in the lease.
• Rent Control: There are no rent control laws in Wyoming. Cities and towns may be able to impose their own requirements.
• Late Fees and Grace Period: State law doesn’t impose a maximum late fee amount, nor does it have a grace period for tenants to pay overdue rent. Once rent is due, the landlord can issue a 3-day notice to quit for non-payment.
• Withholding Rent: Tenants may not withhold rent as a remedy.

Landlord Right of Entry

• Notice Requirements: A landlord doesn’t need to provide prior notice before entering the rented property. It’s recommended to do so anyway.
  • A tenant shouldn’t deny reasonable entry, as they must allow the landlord to enter the property to show the property to prospective buyers, make repairs, or perform an inspection. [4]

  Property Repairs

  • Landlord Responsibilities: Landlords must only rent a property if it’s reasonably sanitary, safe, and fit for human occupancy. They must also maintain electrical systems, hot and cold water, plumbing, and heating. [5]
  • Tenant Repairs: Tenants must maintain the dwelling unit in a safe and clean condition, not unreasonably burden common areas, dispose of all waste in a clean manner, and comply with all lawful requirements of the lease. [6]
  • Abandonment: A landlord dealing with a tenant who breaches their duties can send out a 3-day notice to quit for non-compliance. [7]

  Terminating a Lease

  • Month-to-Month Tenancy: State law doesn’t specify a notice period for ending a month-to-month lease, but it’s still common courtesy to issue a lease termination notice.
  • Unclaimed Property: The tenant has seven days to respond to a landlord’s notice of personal property left behind. After this notice period, the landlord can dispose of it. [8]
