Wyo. Stat. Ann. §§ 40-26-101 to 40-26-145 § 40-26-128
Dismissal.
Operative Text
40-26-128. Dismissal. If the enforcing authority determines that no reasonable cause exists to believe that a discriminatory housing practice that is the subject of a complaint has occurred or is about to occur, the enforcing authority shall promptly dismiss the complaint. The enforcing authority shall make public disclosure of each dismissal.
Under Wyoming's fair housing law, Wyo. Stat. § 40-26-128, when the enforcing authority reviews a housing discrimination complaint and finds no reasonable cause to believe a discriminatory housing practice has occurred or is about to occur, it is required to dismiss that complaint promptly. The dismissal is not kept confidential — the enforcing authority must publicly disclose each one. This provision establishes both a procedural obligation to act quickly and a transparency requirement tied to that outcome.
Plain English — not legal advice.
For property owners and managers, Wyo. Stat. § 40-26-128 is a reminder that fair housing complaints filed against them are subject to a threshold review by the enforcing authority. If the authority finds no reasonable cause, the complaint is dismissed and that dismissal is made public — providing a measure of transparency in the process. Compliant operators generally maintain clear records of their housing practices so that, if a complaint is filed, the review process can proceed efficiently.

Under Wyo. Stat. § 40-26-128, if you have filed a fair housing complaint and the enforcing authority concludes there is no reasonable cause to believe a discriminatory housing practice occurred or was about to occur, your complaint will be dismissed. Importantly, that dismissal must be publicly disclosed, which means the outcome is part of the public record. Tenants who believe a dismissal was issued in error may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid provider to understand what options, such as further administrative review or other avenues, may be available.
