Free Wyoming Landlord Forms

Every Wyoming landlord form we publish, organised by the stage of the tenancy it belongs to, each one paired with the statute behind it — plus an honest account of the seven rules Wyoming simply does not have, because a thin code is where invented numbers thrive.

Every form linked on this page is free, fillable in your browser, and downloadable as a PDF with no account, no membership and no paywall. Wyoming’s entire residential rental code is eleven short sections — W.S. 1-21-1201 through 1-21-1211 — with forcible entry and detainer procedure at 1-21-1001 through 1-21-1017. Wyoming has not adopted the uniform residential landlord and tenant act, and the practical consequence is that several rules landlords assume exist genuinely do not.

Two Three-Day Periods, and They Add Up

What the notice must say — and how it may be served

The statute prescribes no content whatsoever beyond “notify the adverse party to leave the premises”. No magic words, no required recitals, no cure language. The Judicial Branch’s own Notice to Quit Premises form supplies a practical template, with checkbox grounds and a closing warning that if the tenant does not leave within three days an action to remove them may be brought — but that is a form convention, not a statutory requirement.

There is no cure right

Nothing in the eviction or residential articles gives a tenant a statutory right to cure a breach and stay, or to pay and stay. Wyoming’s notice is quit-only. The ground for a lease violation is simply “Against renters in violation of any terms imposed under W.S. 1-21-1204 or 1-21-1205”, with the same flat three days.

See our Wyoming eviction notice laws guide.

There Is No Month-to-Month Notice Period

The same silence covers rent increases: no provision requires advance notice, limits the size or restricts the frequency, and there is no rent-control statute and no preemption statute either. See our Wyoming lease termination laws and Wyoming rent increase laws guides.

Every Wyoming Landlord Form, by Stage of the Tenancy

An alphabetical index is the least useful arrangement, because a landlord arrives knowing what has happened, not what the document is called. These are ordered by where you are in the tenancy.

The Deposit: Three Numbers, Then Two More Schemes

There is no cap. Sections 1-21-1207 and 1-21-1208 are the only deposit provisions and neither contains a dollar figure or a multiple of rent. There is also no trust or separate account requirement, no last-month’s-rent rule and no interest — the statute says the refund is delivered “without interest”.

Rule	Detail
Permitted deductions	“property or money held as a deposit may be applied by the owner or his agent to the payment of accrued rent, damages to the residential rental unit beyond reasonable wear and tear, the cost to clean the unit to the condition at the beginning of the rental agreement and to other costs provided by any contract”
Non-refundable portions — two duties	Section 1-21-1207, in full: “Any rental agreement shall state whether any portion of a deposit is nonrefundable and written notice of this fact shall also be provided to the renter at the time the deposit is taken”. That is two separate obligations — the agreement and a notice at the moment of payment
Penalty — and it is weak	“If the owner… unreasonably fails to comply…, the renter may recover the full deposit and court costs.” No multiple damages, no statutory attorney fees, no per-diem. And it runs both ways: where the owner prevails “and the court finds the renter acted unreasonably in bringing the action, the owner may be awarded court costs”
Successor landlords	The holder of the owner’s or agent’s interest at termination “shall be bound by the provisions of W.S. 1-21-1207 and 1-21-1208”
A utilities deposit is a SEPARATE scheme	Five distinct numbers, none of them the thirty days above: refund within ten days of a satisfactory showing that all utility charges are paid; absent that showing within forty-five days of termination, the owner shall within fifteen days thereafter apply the utilities deposit to the outstanding debt; any refund then due is paid within seven days after application, or within fifteen days after receipt of the new mailing address, whichever is later
Damages beyond the deposit	The renter “shall remain liable for any damages beyond the damages paid by the deposit, plus interest at ten percent per annum on any unpaid amounts”, and the owner may take any legal action available

See our Wyoming security deposit laws guide.

Court: Twelve Days, Two-Day Continuances, Two-Day Sheriff

Stage	Rule
Where	Circuit court. It has exclusive original civil jurisdiction over “Actions for forcible entry or detainer”, and over such matters regardless of amount
Service — a 3-to-12 day window	“The summons shall state the cause of the complaint…, the time and place of trial and shall be served and returned as in other cases. Such service shall be not less than three (3) nor more than twelve (12) days before the day of trial set by the judge.”
No written answer required	“The defendant shall not be required to file a written answer to the complaint as a condition of being allowed to participate fully in the trial.” The defendant “may, but is not required to” file one, and either party may amend
No true default	If the defendant does not appear, the court “shall try the action as though he were present”. The plaintiff must file the complaint relied on, and “The complaint must be sustained by proof or the action dismissed.”
Continuances — two days	“No continuance shall be granted the defendant for longer than two (2) days unless he gives a bond to the adverse party, with good and sufficient surety…, conditioned for the payment of the rent that may accrue and costs if judgment is rendered against him.”
Judgment	Where neither party demands a jury and the court finds the complaint true, it “shall render a general judgment in favor of the plaintiff for restitution of the premises and costs”, and in a rent case shall find the amount due and “issue execution separate from the writ of restitution for the rent found due and costs”
Jury	Available — the trial proceeds to the court only “if neither party demands a jury”
Writ — sheriff acts within two days	“Unless the defendant takes an appeal, the officer shall execute the writ of restitution within two (2) days after receiving it, Sundays excepted, by restoring the plaintiff to possession”
Removal of possessions	If the renter does not vacate as ordered, “the sheriff may remove the renter’s possessions and prevent the renter from reentering the premises without further action by the court”
Appeal — 48 hours	An appeal does not stay proceedings “unless within forty-eight (48) hours after judgment, Sundays excepted, the appellant executes and files… his bond to plaintiff, with two (2) or more sufficient sureties” — plus a deposit of “the amount of rent specified in the judgment”. “Unless the deposit is made, the appeal is not perfected.”
Small claims	Six thousand dollars, exclusive of costs. General circuit court civil limit: fifty thousand dollars
Business entities	A business entity may appear in a forcible entry and detainer action without an attorney if represented by an owner, shareholder, member or partner, if the entity owns a majority interest, and if written notice signed by every owner is filed — but not where the judgment sought exceeds the small claims figure

Habitability: Four Duties, Two Notices, and a Waiver Clause

Section 1-21-1202(a) sets the standard: “Each owner and his agent renting or leasing a residential rental unit shall maintain that unit in a safe and sanitary condition fit for human habitation. Each residential rental unit shall have operational electrical, heating and plumbing, with hot and cold running water — unless otherwise agreed upon in writing by both parties”, with an exception for seasonal units such as summer cabins not intended to have such amenities.

The owner’s enumerated duties are exactly four: not renting the unit “unless it is reasonably safe, sanitary and fit for human occupancy”; maintaining common areas “in a sanitary and reasonably safe condition”; maintaining “electrical systems, plumbing, heating and hot and cold water”; and maintaining “other appliances and facilities as specifically contracted in the rental agreement”. There is no duty as to pests, locks, mould, smoke detectors, weatherproofing or rubbish removal.

The tenant’s route is two notices and then court

Step	Rule
First notice	“If the renter is current on all payments required by the rental agreement and has reasonable cause supported by evidence…, the renter shall advise the owner in writing of the condition and specify the remedial action the renter requests… Within a reasonable time after receipt…, the owner shall either commence action to correct the condition or notify the renter in writing that the owner disputes the renter’s claim.” “Reasonable time” is nowhere quantified
Second notice	A “notice to repair or correct condition” which must recite the previous notice, state how many days have elapsed and that this constitutes the reasonable time allowed, state which conditions remain uncorrected, demand correction, and “state that if the owner fails to commence reasonable corrective action within three (3) days he will seek redress in the courts”
Then, court only	The renter “may commence a civil action in circuit court”, with the owner required to appear “not less than three (3) nor more than twenty (20) days from the date of service”. On a showing of “an unreasonable refusal to correct or the failure to use due diligence”, the renter may be awarded “costs, damages and affirmative relief”, which “may include rent improperly retained or collected” and “a declaration terminating the rental agreement, or an order directing the owner to make reasonable repairs”
The owner’s escape hatch	The owner “may refuse to correct the condition… and terminate the rental agreement if the costs of repairs exceeds an amount which would be reasonable in light of the rent charged”, on written notice within a reasonable time, giving the renter “no less than ten (10) days nor more than twenty (20) days” to find substitute housing, with rent prorated and any balance and deposit refunded
Court-ordered termination	Where a court terminates the agreement, the renter gets the balance of rent and the deposit within thirty days, and vacates “no sooner than ten (10) days nor later than twenty (20) days” after termination
Damages limit	“The owner is not liable under this article for claims for mental suffering or anguish.”

There is no repair-and-deduct and no rent withholding. On the contrary, the whole scheme is conditioned on the renter being current, and a tenant who withholds rent forfeits the remedy. See our Wyoming habitability laws guide.

Abandoned Property, and a Drafting Quirk to Read Carefully

On regaining lawful possession the owner “may immediately dispose of any trash or property the owner reasonably believes to be hazardous, perishable or valueless and abandoned”, and “Any property remaining within the rental unit after termination… shall be presumed to be both valueless and abandoned”. Valuable property must go through the notice process.

The notice describes the property and states that it will be disposed of after seven days from service unless the renter takes possession or notifies the owner in writing of an intent to. It is served by certified mail to an address the renter furnished in writing for the purpose, under the civil rules with personal delivery to the individual renter, or by publication in a newspaper published or widely circulated in the county.

The owner is entitled to “reasonable storage costs if he stores the property himself or actual storage costs if the property is stored commercially”, payable before the renter removes it — and “The owner is not responsible for any loss to the renter resulting from storage”.

What Wyoming Does Not Have

Because the code is so thin, secondary sources fill the gaps with figures that are not there. Every item below was checked against the complete text of the residential and eviction articles and of the relevant title, not by a keyword search.

Rule	Wyoming
Security deposit cap	None. No dollar figure, no multiple of rent, no separate pet-deposit rule, no trust account, no interest — the refund is expressly “without interest”
Month-to-month termination notice	None. The words do not appear in the statutes. The commonly cited thirty days is contractual or common-law
Rent increase notice	None. No period, no cap, no frequency limit, and no rent-control statute either way
Landlord entry notice	None. No hours, no notice period, no permitted-purposes list, no emergency exception — because there is no entry statute. The only related text is a tenant duty not to “unreasonably deny access to, refuse entry to or withhold consent to enter… for the purpose of making repairs to or checking over the unit, and showing the unit for rent or sale”
Retaliation	None. No presumption, no protected-activity list, no defence to an eviction, no remedy. A tenant who complains about habitability has no statutory protection against a later termination
Self-help / lockout ban	None, and no statutory penalty. Note the asymmetry created in 2025: the new squatter-removal article expressly authorises lock-changing and property removal against unauthorised occupants and gives them a treble-rent wrongful-removal remedy — but no parallel remedy was enacted for a tenant unlawfully locked out
Repair and deduct, rent withholding, rent escrow	None. Court is the only route, and it requires the renter to be current
Late fee cap and grace period	None. No percentage limit, no mandatory grace period, no requirement that a late fee be disclosed in the lease
Written lease, receipts, landlord identity notice	None. The statute expressly contemplates an agreement “written or oral”. No move-in condition report, no rent receipt, no lead, mould or flood notice in state law
Eviction record sealing, mandatory mediation, pay-and-stay	None. A jury trial, by contrast, is available
URLTA	Not adopted

The one general provision that does apply is the bad-cheque statute: a demand may be made for the amount of the cheque and “a collection fee not to exceed thirty dollars”, and if unpaid thirty days after written demand, liability for “three (3) times the amount of the check, but in no case less than one hundred dollars, a collection fee of thirty dollars, and court costs”. That is general law, not a landlord rule. See our Wyoming late fee laws and Wyoming landlord entry laws guides.

Wyoming Publishes a Full Form Set — Twenty-Three of Them

For a state with eleven substantive sections, the Judicial Branch’s form coverage is generous and it maps cleanly onto the process. The landlord track runs: instructions for a notice to quit; the Notice to Quit Premises; an affidavit for service of the notice; instructions for the complaint; the complaint for forcible entry and detainer; instructions for summons and service; the summons; the affidavit and return; instructions for an optional answer; the optional answer; the judgment and order granting restitution; the writ of restitution; instructions for a motion to dismiss; the motion to dismiss; the order addressing dismissal; and instructions plus the notice of abandoned property.

The tenant track is smaller but matters to landlords too, because it is what will land on your doormat: instructions for the notices to repair or correct, the first notice, the second notice, and instructions plus a request for return of deposit.

Note the Judicial Branch’s own instructions call the notice form “sometimes called a ‘three day notice to quit’” while stating that “Notice to Quit Premises is the title used on these forms” — a small sign of how easily the two three-day periods get merged.

What Changed, and What Did Not

Which Wyoming Form Do I Need?

1. Rent is unpaid. Wait until it has been unpaid three days, then serve the notice to quit and wait three more before filing.
2. They have broken a duty under the tenant-obligations sections. Same three-day notice to quit.
3. They are holding over after the term. Same notice — and remember the holdover creates only a tenancy by sufferance.
4. Nobody is at fault. Your lease supplies the period. The statute does not.
5. You want to raise the rent. Again, your lease.
6. You need to get into the property. No statutory rule — follow the lease, and put the request in writing so an unreasonable refusal is provable.
7. The tenant has moved out. Thirty days, or fifteen after their new address, whichever is later, plus thirty more if there is damage.
8. They left belongings. Seven days’ notice, then the disposal process — and read the seven-versus-fifteen point above.
9. Someone is in the property who was never a tenant. That is the squatter article, not eviction — and a former tenant does not qualify.

How to Fill Out a Wyoming Notice to Quit

1. Confirm the ground has ripened. For rent, that means three days past the due date.
2. Use the Judicial Branch form if you can — the statute prescribes no content, so the official template is the safest default.
3. Tell the tenant to leave the premises. That is the statutory core.
4. Do not promise a cure right you are not required to give — but honour any you do offer.
5. Serve it by leaving a written copy with the tenant, or at their usual place of abode or business if they cannot be found.
6. Do not mail it and rely on that. Mail is not an authorised method for this notice.
7. Complete the affidavit of service.
8. Wait at least three days before commencing the action, and diary the trial-service window of three to twelve days.

What Happens If the Form Is Wrong

The distinctively Wyoming failure is mailing the notice to quit, because mail feels standard and is not on the list of two permitted methods.

The second is counting one three-day period instead of two, which puts your filing three days early.

The third is the deposit deadline, where treating “thirty days” or “sixty days” as the whole rule drops the fifteen-day new-address branch and converts an extension into an alternative.

And the fourth is assuming statutory protections that do not exist in either direction — a landlord who thinks a lockout is merely inadvisable, or a tenant who thinks a complaint carries retaliation protection.

What This Page Does Not Have

We would rather scope this honestly than promise documents we do not host. Wyoming landlords also commonly want a rental application, a sublease, a roommate agreement, a commercial lease, a pet addendum, a lease amendment and an adverse action notice. Those are not published here as Wyoming-specific forms.

Common Wyoming Landlord Form Mistakes

• Mailing the notice to quit. Two methods only, and mail is not one.
• Posting the notice on the door. Also not listed.
• Counting one three-day period. Ripening plus notice.
• Filing on the third day. At least three days before commencing.
• Promising a cure right in a state that gives none, then ignoring it.
• Giving thirty days to end a month-to-month in the belief the statute requires it.
• Assuming an implied renewal on holdover. Wyoming expressly has none.
• Believing Wyoming caps deposits. It does not.
• Paying deposit interest. The refund is expressly without interest.
• Diarising a flat thirty days when no forwarding address has arrived.
• Treating the damage extension as a flat sixty days.
• Merging the utilities deposit clock with the security deposit clock.
• Making a deposit portion non-refundable without both the lease statement and the notice at the time it is taken.
• Expecting a continuance beyond two days without a bond.
• Expecting a default judgment. Proof is still required.
• Treating the sheriff’s two days as a tenant grace period.
• Using the squatter route against a former tenant. Triple fair-market rent plus fees.
• Assuming the utilities carve-out was repealed in 2025. That bill failed introduction.
• Citing the old circuit court jurisdiction section number. It was renumbered.
• Relying on a habitability remedy while the tenant is in arrears — or, as a landlord, assuming arrears end the duty entirely.

Free Fillable Forms Versus the Paid Wyoming Form Sites

Wyoming’s results page runs to just under two thousand words at its deepest, and the recurring problem is not shallowness but invention. A thin statute leaves gaps, and content mills fill them with a deposit cap, a twenty-four-hour entry rule and a thirty-day termination notice, none of which exist. Those claims usually come with a section number that will not check out.

The genuinely useful Wyoming content is the reverse of the usual: knowing which two service methods are permitted, that there are two three-day periods, that the deposit deadline has three parts, that the habitability floor is waivable, and that seven rules landlords assume exist do not. That is what this page is for.

Every form linked from this page is free, fills in the browser, and downloads as a finished PDF. There is no account, no trial and no upsell attached to the documents themselves. What we ask in return is straightforward: if you are about to hand keys to someone, run the screening first, because nearly every dispute described on this page is cheaper to prevent than to litigate.

About the Author

Published by Tenant Screening Background Check · Editorial Team

Established 2004. Our editorial team has spent two decades helping landlords and property managers run lawful tenant screening and follow state landlord-tenant codes across all fifty states. Wyoming does not publish per-section statute pages, so we worked from the Legislature’s compiled title files and read both relevant articles start to finish — which is why the absences here are findings rather than failures to locate. We also checked every session from 2021 to 2026 against the legislature’s own bill data to confirm that only one act has touched this material in five years.

Last reviewed 2026. This page is general information about Wyoming landlord-tenant law, not legal advice. It rests on the Wyoming Legislature’s compiled statute files, which carry no formal currency statement; we corroborated currency against the legislature’s own bill data for every session from 2021 to 2026. No case law is described here, and several operative terms are undefined and litigated, including the seven-versus-fifteen-day conflict in the abandoned property section, which appears in the enacted text itself. Mobile home lots fall outside the residential rental definition. Wyoming has no statute preempting local regulation, so municipal ordinances may apply. Confirm the current position with your circuit court or a Wyoming attorney before serving a notice or filing an action.
