⚠ Wyoming requires a 3-day notice for a notice to pay rent or quit; the count runs from the date of SERVICE, and some states exclude weekends/holidays — verify before relying on a date. For nonpayment, a landlord may begin the eviction process once rent is 3 days or more late, after giving the statutory 3-day (72-hour) written notice to quit under W.S. 1-21-1003 (confirmed by wyocourts.gov: 'a landlord can start the eviction process 3 days after rent is due'). Wyoming statute does not prescribe a statutory grace period; days are calendar days. There is no separate, longer cure period for rent before filing — the same 3-day notice applies.

Ann. § 1-21-1003 (Notice to quit premises required); Forcible Entry and Detainer, §§ 1-21-1001 to 1-21-1016 (incl. § 1-21-1004 summons service); Residential Rental Property Act, §§ 1-21-1201 to 1-21-1211.
Only a court can order you to move out. The landlord may NOT lock you out, remove your belongings, or shut off your utilities; doing so is illegal.

Wyoming Eviction Notice Requirements
In Wyoming, a landlord must serve a written notice before filing for eviction under Wyo. Stat. Ann. § 1-21-1003 (Notice to quit premises required); Forcible Entry and Detainer, §§ 1-21-1001 to 1-21-1016 (incl. § 1-21-1004 summons service); Residential Rental Property Act, §§ 1-21-1201 to 1-21-1211. The required notice period depends on the reason:
- Nonpayment of rent: 3-day notice to pay or quit. For nonpayment, a landlord may begin the eviction process once rent is 3 days or more late, after giving the statutory 3-day (72-hour) written notice to quit under W.S. 1-21-1003 (confirmed by wyocourts.gov: 'a landlord can start the eviction process 3 days after rent is due'). Wyoming statute does not prescribe a statutory grace period; days are calendar days. There is no separate, longer cure period for rent before filing — the same 3-day notice applies.
- Curable lease violation: 3-day notice to cure or quit. Wyoming does not have a distinct, longer statutory cure-or-quit period separate from the 3-day notice to quit. The single 3-day written notice to quit (W.S. 1-21-1003) is the prerequisite before filing an FED action for any cause, including curable lease violations. Article 12 (Residential Rental Property Act, §§ 1-21-1201 to 1-21-1211) does not impose a separate statutory cure window; any opportunity to cure is generally a matter of the lease terms.
- No-cause termination (month-to-month): 30-day notice. To end a month-to-month (periodic) tenancy without cause, the landlord must give notice of one full rental period — commonly stated as 30 days' written notice. The Wyoming Judicial Branch evictions page states a no-reason month-to-month eviction requires that 'you are given a full months notice.' This is distinct from the 3-day FED notice to quit used when there is cause.
Service: W.S. 1-21-1003: the written notice must be served at least three (3) days before commencing the forcible entry and detainer action, by leaving a written copy with the defendant, or at the defendant's usual place of abode or business if the defendant cannot be found. Often called a 72-hour notice to quit. Under W.S. 1-21-1004, the FED Summons and Petition must then be served on the tenant not less than three (3) nor more than twelve (12) days before the day of trial set by the judge.
- The core notice for filing an eviction (forcible entry and detainer) is a single 3-day (72-hour) written notice to quit under W.S. 1-21-1003 ('served at least three (3) days before commencing the action'), used for nonpayment of rent and for lease/duty violations alike.
- Wyoming does not provide a separate, longer statutory cure period; the 3-day notice applies whether the violation is curable or severe/non-curable.
- To end a month-to-month tenancy without cause, the landlord gives a full month's notice (encoded as 30 days), per the Wyoming Judicial Branch evictions guidance.
- Wyoming has no statewide just-cause eviction requirement; no-fault terminations are permitted with proper notice.
- After the 3-day notice expires, the landlord files an FED action; under W.S. 1-21-1004 the Summons must be served not less than 3 nor more than 12 days before the day of trial.
