Tenant won't move out in Wyoming

Wyoming landlord guide to fixed-term holdovers, completed terminations, the written pre-suit notice to quit, and circuit-court possession procedure.

Start with why the tenancy should already be over.

Verify the expiration or termination date has actually been reached.

Check for a new express agreement and any notice already served.

Serve the Wyoming written notice to quit before filing the possession action.

Why this matters

Wyoming expressly allows forcible-entry-and-detainer proceedings against tenants holding over their terms. A separate statute provides that holding over, even with rent accepted, does not itself imply renewal of the lease, but an actual new agreement can change the analysis.

Legal authority: Wyo. Stat. §§ 1-21-1002(a)(i), 1-21-1003; Wyo. Stat. § 34-2-128

What the tool verifies

  • Why the tenancy ended.
  • Whether the end or termination date has been reached.
  • Whether the renter remains in possession.
  • Whether the parties made a new express agreement.
  • Whether a Wyoming notice to quit was already served.

What happens next

When the supported holdover facts are established, the tool prepares the written three-day notice to quit. If the renter remains after the notice period, the next supported stage is Wyoming circuit court.
