    Wyoming Rent Increase Law

    Wyoming has no rent-increase notice statute; on a month-to-month arrangement, landlords commonly give at least 30 days' written notice before a rent due date, the same as for ending the tenancy (Wyo. Stat. §§ 1-21-1201 to -1211).

    What Wyoming law says

    How much notice is required for a rent increase in Wyoming?

    Wyoming has no rent-increase notice statute; on a month-to-month arrangement, landlords commonly give at least 30 days' written notice before a rent due date, the same as for ending the tenancy (Wyo. Stat. §§ 1-21-1201 to -1211) (Wyo. Stat. §§ 1-21-1201 to -1211 (no rent-increase provision)).

    Does Wyoming have rent control?

    Wyoming has no statewide rent control law and no statute that expressly bars cities or counties from adopting one; the Residential Rental Property Act (Wyo. Stat. §§ 1-21-1201 to 1-21-1211) does not regulate rent amounts.

    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)).
