Other Wyoming rules your lease has to live with
Beyond the deposit, Wyoming law sets rules on entry, late fees, and repairs that apply whether or not the lease mentions them.
- Repair and deduct. Not authorized. Renter must give written notice, then a 'notice to repair or correct condition' (3-day demand), then sue in circuit court; court may award damages, order repairs or terminate lease (§ 1-21-1206). — Wyo. Stat. § 1-21-1206(b)-(c) (2025 compilation) ↗
- Habitability. Wyoming law implies a warranty of habitability into every residential lease; a clause waiving it is unenforceable. — Wyo. Stat. § 1-21-1202(a) (2025 compilation) ↗
