Ending a lease or tenancy in Wyoming
Wyoming landlord guide to fixed-term expiration, lease renewal clauses, periodic-tenancy notice uncertainty, and the holdover transition.
A fixed-term lease is analyzed from its actual expiration and renewal language.
Wyoming does not imply lease renewal merely because a renter holds over.
Wyoming has no single statewide statutory 30-day rule for every month-to-month termination.
Periodic tenancies without a clear written termination provision stop for common-law review instead of using an invented deadline.
Why this matters
The three-day notice in the forcible-entry-and-detainer statute is a pre-suit possession notice, not a universal notice that itself terminates every periodic tenancy. The workflow separates tenancy termination from the later possession step.
Legal authority: Wyo. Stat. § 34-2-128; Day v. Smith, 46 Wyo. 515, 30 P.2d 786 (1934)
What the tool verifies
- Fixed term versus periodic tenancy.
- Actual lease end date.
- Automatic-renewal or nonrenewal language.
- Any written periodic-tenancy notice provision.
- Whether the next issue is now a holdover.
What happens next
If a fixed term has ended and the renter remains, continue directly to the Wyoming holdover workflow. Periodic tenancies with unclear termination rules stop rather than receiving a fake statewide 30-day answer.
