Eviction notice rules in Wyoming
Nonpayment notice
3-day notice to quit — one notice covers nonpayment and any other ground; Wyoming has no separate pay-or-quit track (W.S. §§1-21-1002, 1-21-1003). Paying rent in full before filing MAY (not guaranteed) prevent the action.
Lease-violation notice
3-day notice to quit — no separate cure-or-quit track; the same notice covers lease violations (W.S. §1-21-1003).
Unconditional quit (no second chance)
The standard 3-day notice to quit is unconditional in practice — no separate cure track exists (W.S. §1-21-1003).
No-cause / end-of-tenancy notice
30 days to end a month-to-month tenancy (specific statute <em>reported — confirm with a licensed attorney</em>).
How the notice must be served
In person, left at the tenant's residence, or left at their workplace if they cannot be found (W.S. §1-21-1003). Taping the notice to the door is valid, but courts expect a good-faith attempt at personal service before posting. The notice need not be handed to the tenant personally to be valid.
Your right to fix it (cure)
No statutory cure right. The tenant's only reliable protection is to leave or to defend in court; paying rent in full before filing is not a guaranteed solution.
How days are counted
Day-counting rules (weekends/holidays; when the clock starts) <em>reported — confirm with a licensed attorney</em>.
After the notice expires
Landlord must file a forcible entry and detainer action in circuit court. The tenant does NOT have to leave within the 3 days — only a court-issued writ of restitution can remove the tenant, and the sheriff carries out the removal (within 2 days of receiving the writ).
Court timeline
Summons served 3-12 days before trial (W.S. §1-21-1004); writ of restitution on judgment; sheriff removes the tenant within 2 days of receiving the writ. Roughly 2-4 weeks total.
Retaliation & defenses
No statewide anti-retaliation statute found — unverified, needs attorney review; FHA discrimination defense applies.
