Wyoming Month-to-Month Lease Agreement

Month-to-Month Lease Laws

Termination Notice

Wyoming law does not mandate a minimum notice period for terminating a month-to-month lease. However, it is standard practice for landlords and tenants to issue a notice of at least 30 days if they intend to terminate the lease.

Rent Increase Notice

There is no statutory requirement in Wyoming for landlords to provide notice for rent increases. Nevertheless, it is common for landlords to give 30 days’ notice before implementing any rent increase.

Required Disclosures

1. Lead-Based Paint Disclosure: Landlords of properties built prior to 1978 are required to disclose the health risks associated with lead-based paint. This disclosure is crucial for tenant safety and awareness.

2. Non-refundable Deposit: If a security deposit is non-refundable, it must be clearly stated in the lease agreement. Additionally, landlords are required to provide written notice to the tenant when the deposit is collected.

Wyoming Month-to-Month Eviction

When a landlord wishes to terminate a month-to-month lease, they can issue a termination notice. Typically, this notice is given with 30 days’ notice, but landlords have the discretion to specify a different number of days for the tenant to vacate the property. If the tenant fails to comply with the notice, the landlord may initiate an eviction lawsuit to remove the tenant from the property.
