Wyoming 3 Day Notice to Comply or Vacate

A Wyoming 3 Day Notice To Comply or Vacate is a letter which complies with state legal requirements to begin eviction against a tenant for a lease violation. If the landlord refuses to allow corrective action, or the tenant fails to take corrective action, the tenant must move out within three (3) calendar days.

When To Use a Wyoming 3 Day Notice To Comply or Vacate

A Wisconsin 3 Day Notice To Comply or Vacate begins the eviction process for the following tenant violations:

Health or safety violations
Damage to the premises
Refusing the landlord’s request to lawfully access the premises
Occupancy violations
Interference with the quiet enjoyment of others
Overstaying the lease (also known as “holding over” or a “holdover tenancy”)
Other lease violations

note

The landlord may offer the tenant an opportunity to “cure” (i.e., take action to correct) a violation. This is not a legal requirement and is at the landlord’s sole discretion. If the landlord refuses to let the tenant cure an issue, the tenant must move out regardless of whether the issue gets addressed.

Some types of Wyoming lease termination notice may allow different reasons for termination, or different notice periods. This may also apply to an eviction notice issued because of a lease or legal violation.

How To Write a Wyoming 3 Day Notice To Comply or Vacate

To help ensure the legal compliance of a Notice To Comply or Vacate:

Use the full name of the receiving party, and address of record, if known
Specify the termination date of the lease or tenancy
Specify the basis for terminating the tenancy, and the corrective action(s) required to avoid termination
Fill in the full address of the rental premises
Provide updated/current address and phone number information
Print name and sign the notice
Complete the certificate of service by indicating the date and method of notice delivery, along with printed name and signature

It is easy to lose an otherwise justified legal action because of improper notice. Check carefully to ensure enough time after notice is delivered, not when it’s sent.

How To Serve a Wyoming 3 Day Notice To Comply or Vacate

Wyoming landlords may deliver an eviction notice in writing, using any of these methods:

Hand delivery to the tenant
Only if the tenant cannot be found: Leaving a copy of the notice at the tenant’s residence or usual place of business

note

In almost all cases, notice is legally served when it is received by the other party, NOT when it’s sent. Check specified date of termination carefully to ensure compliance with the legal requirements for a notice period.
