What Wyoming law says
What notice must a Wyoming landlord give before filing an eviction for unpaid rent?
Once rent is 3 days late, serve a written notice to quit at least 3 days before filing a forcible entry and detainer action (Wyo. Stat. §§ 1-21-1002(a)(i), 1-21-1003).
How much notice is required for a lease violation in Wyoming?
If a renter breaks a duty under the Residential Rental Property Act (for example, violating a lawful lease term or damaging the unit), serve a 3-day notice to quit before filing; the statute gives no right to cure (Wyo. Stat. §§ 1-21-1002(a)(vi), 1-21-1003, 1-21-1204, 1-21-1205).
How much notice ends a month-to-month tenancy in Wyoming?
Wyoming has no statute fixing how much notice ends a month-to-month tenancy, and a holdover after a lease expires creates only a tenancy at sufferance, so at least 30 days' written notice before a rent due date is the prudent practice (Wyo. Stat. §§ 34-2-128, 34-2-129; 1-21-1201 to -1211) (Wyo. Stat. §§ 34-2-128, 34-2-129 (holdover = tenancy by sufferance; renewal only by written contract)).
