Wyoming Lease Termination Notice

The Residential Rental Property Act does not establish a notice period for ending a periodic residential tenancy, and Wyoming has no separate periodic-tenancy termination statute. The three-day notice in Wyo. Stat. § 1-21-1003 is the pre-suit notice to quit for a forcible entry and detainer action, not a notice to terminate a month-to-month tenancy. Absent a statute, a month-to-month tenancy is ended under the rental agreement or common law, which conventionally calls for one full rental period of written notice before the next period begins, given by either party. A fixed-term lease expires automatically at the end of its term; if the tenant holds over, the landlord proceeds under the forcible entry and detainer statutes.

No specific statutory penalty. If notice is deficient under the lease or common-law standard, the tenancy simply continues into the next rental period; to remove a holdover tenant the landlord must use the three-day notice to quit and a forcible entry and detainer action.
