Operative Text
1-21-1205. Prohibited acts by renter.
(a) No renter shall:
(i) Intentionally or negligently destroy, deface,
damage, impair or remove any part of the residential rental unit
or knowingly permit any person to do so;
(ii) Interfere with another person's peaceful
enjoyment of the residential property; or
(iii) Unreasonably 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.Wyoming Statute § 1-21-1205 establishes three categories of conduct that renters are prohibited from engaging in during a tenancy. Renters may not intentionally or negligently damage or remove any part of their rental unit, nor allow others to do so. They also may not disturb another person's peaceful enjoyment of the property, and they must provide reasonable access to the unit when an owner, agent, or manager needs to make repairs, conduct inspections, or show the unit for rent or sale.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 1-21-1205, Wyoming law supports property owners and managers in maintaining the condition of their rental units and exercising reasonable access rights. Compliant operators typically document the unit's condition at move-in and move-out, communicate access requests clearly and in advance, and keep records of any incidents involving damage or disturbance. When a renter unreasonably denies entry or causes damage, operators generally have grounds to pursue remedies available under Wyoming's residential rental statutes.

Section § 1-21-1205 outlines specific obligations that Wyoming renters must meet, but it also implicitly defines the boundaries of those obligations — for instance, the access restriction applies only to 'unreasonable' denials, meaning renters retain some ability to negotiate timing or manner of entry. Renters who believe an owner is using this provision to demand access in an unreasonable or harassing manner may have grounds to raise that as a concern. Tenant-rights organizations in Wyoming can help renters understand how these obligations interact with their broader rights under the residential rental statutes.
