Landlord Entry Notice Requirements in Wyoming
At a glance
| Governing law | No landlord-side entry-notice statute in Wyoming's Residential Rental Property Act (§§ 1-21-1201 to -1211). Section 1-21-1205(a)(iii) instead bars a renter from unreasonably denying access for repairs, inspection, or showings and imposes no notice duty on the owner |
|---|---|
| Advance notice required | No statutory period or numeric default in the Act. Any routine-entry notice requirement comes from the rental agreement or another applicable rule |
| Reasons a landlord may enter | The only statutory list appears in the renter's-duty clause: repairs, inspection, and showing the unit for rent or sale (§ 1-21-1205(a)(iii)). The Act does not separately state a landlord-side permitted-purpose rule |
| Permitted hours | No statutory hours limit in the Residential Rental Property Act. Any time-of-day term comes from the rental agreement or another applicable rule |
| When no notice is needed | No statutory emergency or no-notice formula, because the Act creates no landlord-side notice requirement to excuse |
| Form and delivery of the notice | No statutory form, content, or delivery rule for entry. The lease governs how any notice of a routine entry is given |
| Special rules for showings | None as a landlord-notice rule. Wyoming names showings only in the renter's duty not to unreasonably block 'showing the unit for rent or sale' (§ 1-21-1205(a)(iii)); it sets no notice a landlord must give to show the unit. See the advance-notice column |
| Tenant's remedies for unlawful entry | No entry-notice penalty is stated in the Act. The statutory access clause is a prohibited act by the renter, and § 1-21-1211 addresses owner remedies through court-ordered eviction and damages rather than creating a renter notice remedy |
How entry works in Wyoming without an entry-notice statute
The current official Title 1 compilation contains the complete Residential Rental Property Act, §§ 1-21-1201 through -1211. It has no landlord-side section setting an entry notice period, notice contents, delivery method, or permitted hours.
Its access rule appears in the renter's prohibited-acts section. Section 1-21-1205(a)(iii) says a renter may not unreasonably deny access, refuse entry, or withhold consent when the owner, agent, or manager seeks to make repairs, inspect, or show the unit for rent or sale. The Act states the renter's duty but no matching numeric notice duty for the owner.
What trips people up
Do not reverse the direction of § 1-21-1205(a)(iii). It says when a renter's denial is prohibited; it does not say that a landlord has satisfied a notice requirement or create a statutory entry schedule. A rental agreement can supply terms that the Act omits.
Common questions
Does the Act require written notice? No. The Residential Rental Property Act states no landlord entry-notice form or delivery method.
Which access purposes does the Act name? Repairs, inspection, and showing the unit for rent or sale, all within the renter-duty clause in § 1-21-1205(a)(iii).
Does § 1-21-1211 create a tenant remedy for defective entry notice? No. It addresses the owner's remedies after court-ordered eviction and for renter-caused damage; it does not create a renter entry-notice remedy.
