Which disclosures must a Wyoming lease include?
Wyoming landlord-tenant law is governed by Wyo. Stat. Title 1, Chapter 21. Beyond the universal federal lead rule, the disclosures a Wyoming landlord must give at or around lease signing are:
| Disclosure | Authority | Applies To |
|---|---|---|
| Nonrefundable-deposit disclosure | Wyo. Stat. § 1-21-1207 | When a deposit is taken |
| Lead-based paint hazard + EPA pamphlet | Title X (federal) | Housing built before 1978 |
The main Wyoming lease disclosures
Nonrefundable-deposit disclosure (Wyo. Stat. § 1-21-1207): the landlord must disclose in writing whether any portion of the deposit is nonrefundable; a fee not disclosed as nonrefundable is treated as refundable.
Federal lead-based paint disclosure
For older housing this is the one disclosure no Wyoming landlord can skip. If the dwelling predates 1978, Title X (42 U.S.C. § 4852d) requires a signed lead-warning disclosure, disclosure of any known lead hazards, delivery of any available records, and the EPA pamphlet Protect Your Family From Lead in Your Home. Non-compliance carries civil penalties and, in egregious cases, criminal ones.
What happens if a Wyoming landlord skips a required disclosure?
Consequences depend on the disclosure:
- A missed 30-day itemized deposit return requires the landlord to return the full deposit plus the tenant's court costs (§ 1-21-1208).
- A nonrefundable fee not disclosed in writing is treated as refundable (§ 1-21-1207).
- A federal lead-paint violation carries civil and, in egregious cases, criminal penalties plus liability for tenant damages.
