A Wyoming eviction notice form for non-compliance is a written document that states a tenant has 3 days to vacate the premises.
Types of Wyoming Eviction Notices
Each possible ground for eviction has its own notice type. Some notices allow the tenant to fix (“cure”) the issue and continue the tenancy, while others simply state an amount of time to vacate by.
| Grounds | Time | Curable? |
|---|---|---|
| Lease Violation/ Nonpayment of Rent | 3-Day | No |
3-Day Notice to Quit (Non-Compliance / Nonpayment of Rent)
A tenant can be evicted in Wyoming if they do not uphold their responsibilities under the terms of the lease or rental agreement.
Wyoming landlords must provide tenants with a 3-Day Notice to Quit, giving the tenant 3 days to move out of the rental unit to avoid eviction.
This notice covers a variety of non-compliance issues, including:
- Nonpayment of rent after 3 days.
- Material health/safety violations.
- Too many people living in the rental unit.
- Violating the terms of the rental agreement.
- Damaging/destroying rental property.
- Preventing other tenants from peacefully enjoying the rental property.
- Unreasonably refusing to allow the landlord to enter the rental unit to make repairs, inspect the unit, or show the unit.
- Holding over after the lease term expires.
Lease violations could include things like having a pet when there’s a no-pet policy, parking in areas that are not allowed under the rental agreement or smoking inside no-smoking units.
Material health and safety violations could include letting trash pile up inside the rental unit, providing a harbor for rodents or bugs, or even things like damaging the electrical wiring in the rental unit.

- The date the tenancy will terminate;
- The reason for the eviction; and
- The tenant’s name and contact information.
The landlord will also want to get the tenant’s signature confirming that they received the eviction notice, if the notice was hand delivered.
