    40-26-114.    Duties and powers of enforcing authority.

the same as are provided in federal fair housing
regulations. Within the limits of legislative appropriations,
the enforcing authority shall foster prevention of

and sellers on the rights and responsibilities provided under
this chapter and ways to respect those protected rights. The
enforcing authority shall emphasize conciliation to resolve
complaints.

Plain English

Under Wyoming's fair housing law, Wyo. Stat. § 40-26-114, the designated enforcing authority is responsible for administering the state's fair housing chapter. Any substantive rules it adopts must mirror the obligations, rights, and remedies already established under federal fair housing regulations. The authority is also charged with public education efforts—reaching landlords, lenders, publishers, real estate licensees, and sellers—and is directed to prioritize conciliation when resolving complaints.

For Property Managers

Section 40-26-114 of Wyoming's fair housing statutes places landlords among the groups the enforcing authority is specifically tasked with educating about fair housing rights and responsibilities. Operators who stay current with both state and federal fair housing regulations—since the two are aligned by statute—are better positioned to maintain compliant practices. Landlords who receive a complaint should be aware that the enforcing authority is directed to emphasize conciliation as a first step toward resolution.

For Tenants

Wyo. Stat. § 40-26-114 establishes that the enforcing authority must actively administer Wyoming's fair housing protections and is required to prioritize conciliation when a complaint is filed. Tenants who believe they have experienced housing discrimination may file a complaint with the enforcing authority, which is empowered to work toward a resolution. Tenant-rights organizations and fair housing councils can also help individuals understand the education and outreach resources the enforcing authority is required to provide under this provision.
