Wyoming Eviction Notice (Forcible Entry & Detainer)

Wyo. Stat. § 1-21-1002 allows forcible entry and detainer proceedings 'against tenants holding over their terms or after a failure to pay rent for three (3) days after it is due.' Before suing, the landlord must comply with Wyo. Stat. § 1-21-1003: the notice to quit 'shall be served at least three (3) days before commencing the action, by leaving a written copy with the defendant or at his usual place of abode or business.' After the notice expires, the landlord files the FED action in circuit court; if the landlord prevails, the court issues a judgment for possession. Wyoming does not require just cause to evict, making the process comparatively fast and landlord-permissive.

A landlord who removes a tenant without the required three-day notice and a court order risks an unlawful self-help eviction. The lawful remedy is a forcible entry and detainer judgment for possession; only an officer may execute the resulting writ.
