Wyo. Stat. Ann. §§ 40-26-101 to 40-26-145 § 40-26-113
    40-26-113.   Effect on other law.

     (a) This chapter does not affect a reasonable local or
state restriction on the maximum number of occupants permitted
to occupy a dwelling or a restriction relating to health or
safety standards.
     (b) This chapter does not affect a requirement of
nondiscrimination in any other state or federal law.

Plain English

Wyoming Statute § 40-26-113 clarifies the boundaries of the state's housing chapter by preserving two categories of outside law. First, local or state rules that set reasonable occupancy limits or establish health and safety standards remain fully in effect alongside this chapter. Second, nondiscrimination requirements found in other state or federal laws are not diminished or overridden by anything in this chapter.

For Property Managers

Under § 40-26-113, operators who comply with this chapter are not relieved of their obligations under other legal frameworks. Compliant property managers continue to observe locally adopted occupancy caps and applicable health and safety codes, and they maintain adherence to fair housing and nondiscrimination requirements imposed by state or federal law. Awareness of this provision helps owners understand that this chapter functions alongside, not instead of, those parallel legal obligations.

General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.

For Tenants

Section § 40-26-113 makes clear that tenants retain the protections offered by occupancy, health, safety, and nondiscrimination laws even where this chapter applies. If a concern involves a health or safety code violation, an occupancy standard, or potential discrimination, those issues may be raised through the relevant enforcement channels—such as a local housing authority, a state agency, or a federal fair housing body—independent of any rights or processes under this chapter. Tenant-rights organizations can help identify which laws and agencies apply to a particular type of concern.
