Summary
Wyoming has no statute requiring a landlord to give advance notice before entering a rental unit. The Residential Rental Property Act instead bars the renter from unreasonably denying the owner access for repairs, inspections, and showings, so any notice obligation comes only from the lease, not from state law.
1-21-1205. Prohibited acts by renter. (a) No renter shall: (i) Intentionally or negligently destroy, deface, damage, impair or remove any part of the residential rental unit or knowingly permit any person to do so; (ii) Interfere with another person's peaceful enjoyment of the residential property; or (iii) Unreasonably deny access to, refuse entry to or withhold consent to enter the residential rental unit to the owner, agent or manager for the purpose of making repairs to or inspecting the unit, and showing the unit for rent or sale.
Full Breakdown
No Wyoming statute sets an entry-notice period for residential landlords. The only access provision in the Residential Rental Property Act is a renter duty, not a landlord duty: under Wyo. Stat. § 1-21-1205 a renter shall not 'unreasonably deny access to, refuse entry to or withhold consent to enter the residential rental unit to the owner, agent or manager for the purpose of making repairs to or inspecting the unit, and showing the unit for rent or sale.' That language obligates the tenant to permit reasonable access; it imposes no requirement that the landlord give 24 hours' or any specific notice before entering. Any entry-notice protection therefore arises only if the rental agreement creates one.
Violations & Penalties
No specific statutory penalty for landlord entry. Because no statute requires landlord entry notice, a tenant's recourse for improper entry is limited to lease-based remedies or general tort claims such as trespass.
