How much notice must a landlord give before entering in Wyoming?

Wyoming has no statute requiring landlords to give advance notice before entering a rental unit — no 24-hour rule, no 'reasonable notice' standard, no emergency exception, and no time-of-day window exists anywhere in Wyoming law.

The state's landlord-tenant act approaches entry entirely from the tenant's side: a renter may not unreasonably deny access, refuse entry, or withhold consent when the owner, agent, or manager wants to make repairs, inspect the unit, or show it for rent or sale — and a tenant who unreasonably refuses can be evicted for it, since violating the renter-duties statutes is an express ground for a forcible entry and detainer action. The flip side is that the tenant's protection is only the word 'unreasonably' plus whatever the lease says: a tenant can reasonably push back on a 2 a.m. showing, but no statute compels the landlord to announce entries in advance or penalizes one who does not. Landlords who want a predictable regime should write notice terms into the lease; tenants should know that general trespass and privacy law — not the landlord-tenant act — is what polices a landlord who abuses access.

Wyoming entry notice at a glance

Advance notice required	No fixed statutory period (see notice standard)
Notice standard	No statute requires a Wyoming landlord to give ANY advance notice before entering a rental unit. The Residential Rental Property Act regulates entry only from the tenant's side. W.S. 1-21-1205(a)(iii) provides that no renter shall '[u]nreasonably deny access to, refuse entry to or withhold consent to enter the residential rental unit to the owner, agent or manager for the purpose of making repairs to or inspecting the unit, and showing the unit for rent or sale.' The practical standard is therefore reasonableness run in reverse: the tenant may reasonably object to a particular entry, and the landlord's remedy for unreasonable refusal is eviction (W.S. 1-21-1002(a)(vi)). Nothing in Wyoming law obliges the landlord to announce entry in advance, and nothing statutory sanctions a landlord who enters without notice — lease terms and general trespass/privacy law are the only brakes.
Permitted reasons	Three purposes: making repairs to the unit, inspecting the unit, and showing the unit for rent or sale. For those the tenant may not unreasonably deny entry (W.S. 1-21-1205(a)(iii)). The statute does not address entry for other purposes (e.g., supplying services or showing to workers or mortgagees) — those default to the rental agreement and general law.
Emergency exception	Not addressed by statute
Time-of-day restrictions	Not addressed by statute

Notes and caveats

No entry-notice statute exists — Article 12 contains no owner-side notice provision, and Title 1 contains no other entry provision reaching tenancies — the only 'right of entry' elsewhere is § 1-18-111(b), a foreclosure-purchaser rule, unrelated to tenancies.
No recent amendment — no 2025 or 2026 enactment touches § 1-21-1205, and the whole article reads the same in the Legislature's compiled Title 1 and in its online statute view.
The wrinkle: the duty runs the other way — unlike pure-silence states, Wyoming has an express tenant-side duty — a renter may not unreasonably deny access for repairs, inspection or showing (§ 1-21-1205(a)(iii)) — and its breach is a ground for eviction (§ 1-21-1002(a)(vi)).
Three purposes only — the statutory purposes are narrower than URLTA's list: no 'supplying services' clause and no workers/mortgagees/contractors clause.
Why the emergency field is blank — there is no notice requirement for an emergency to except from, so 'emergency exception' is neither yes nor no.
Chart trap: § 1-21-1203 is not an entry statute — sites that print '1-21-1203' as Wyoming's entry statute miscite it — that section covers the owner's habitability and repair duties (at least one widely read 2026 landlord guide makes exactly this error).
No local ordinances found — no Wyoming municipality has an entry-notice ordinance per any source found.
Two official presentations of Article 12 agree — the LSO Title 1 PDF and the LSO statute-database article view carry Article 12 in character-identical terms, and neither contains an entry-notice provision, as of July 12, 2026.

How this record was verified: Direct read of statute text in the Wyoming Legislative Service Office's compiled title files (wyoleg.gov/statutes/compress/title01.pdf, title34.pdf, title15.pdf, title40.pdf) on October 1, 2026. The files were compiled on May 8, 2026 and include the 2026 Budget Session. Title 1 ch. 21 art. 12 (W.S. 1-21-1201 through 1-21-1211) and art. 10 (1-21-1001 through 1-21-1017) read in full, plus W.S. 34-2-126 through 34-2-132; Articles 10 and 12 read the same in the Legislature's online statute view. Deposit figures were also read in the Wyoming Judicial Branch's TENANT-03 instructions (wyocourts.gov, rev. September 2024), which reprint W.S. 1-21-1208. Negatives (no deposit cap, no interest or separate-account rule beyond the express 'without interest' clause, no rent-increase or periodic-termination notice statute, no late-fee cap or grace period, no entry-notice statute, no rent-control or preemption provision) rest on full-article reads plus keyword searches of every title: zero occurrences of 'month-to-month', 'late fee', 'late charge' or 'grace period' in Titles 1, 15 and 34. Session check on the Legislative Service Office's bill records: all 278 enrolled acts of the 2025 General Session (171) and the 2026 Budget Session (107) were read for amendments to these sections; none amends W.S. 1-21-1001 through 1-21-1017, 1-21-1201 through 1-21-1211 or 34-2-126 through 34-2-132, and 2025 Senate File 6 (ch. 41) added W.S. 1-21-1401 through 1-21-1403. Dead bills: 2025 HB0213 (owner utility duties) and 2026 HB0183 (renter tax relief), both not considered for introduction. The next regular session is January 2027.
