Operative Text
40-26-115. Complaints. As provided by W.S. 40-26-118 through 40-26-135, the enforcing authority shall receive, investigate, seek to conciliate and act on complaints alleging violations of this chapter.
Under Wyo. Stat. § 40-26-115, the designated enforcing authority is given a defined role when someone alleges a violation of Wyoming's fair housing chapter: it must receive the complaint, investigate it, attempt to resolve it through conciliation, and then take appropriate action. This provision establishes the procedural pipeline that a complaint follows once it is submitted. The specific procedures governing each of these steps are set out in the companion sections, §§ 40-26-118 through 40-26-135.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating in Wyoming should be aware that under § 40-26-115, the enforcing authority is obligated to act on any complaint alleging a violation of the fair housing chapter — including receiving, investigating, and pursuing conciliation. Compliant operators generally maintain clear, documented fair housing policies and practices so that if a complaint is filed, records are available to support a response during the investigation process. Understanding that conciliation is a formal step in this process, not merely an informal conversation, is part of operating within Wyoming's fair housing framework.

Section 40-26-115 of Wyoming's fair housing law establishes that the enforcing authority has a duty to receive and act on complaints — meaning tenants who believe their fair housing rights have been violated have a formal channel through which their complaint must be processed. The provision guarantees that the authority will not only accept the complaint but also investigate it and attempt conciliation before taking further action, as detailed in §§ 40-26-118 through 40-26-135. Tenants exploring this path may find it helpful to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid provider to understand how the complaint and conciliation process works in practice.
