Effect of enforcing authority order.
Operative Text
40-26-133. Effect of enforcing authority order. An enforcing authority order under W.S. 40-26-132 does not affect a contract, sale, encumbrance or lease that is consummated before the enforcing authority issues the order and involves a bona fide purchaser, encumbrancer or tenant who did not have actual notice of the charge filed under this chapter.
Under Wyoming's Uniform Manufactured Housing Act, § 40-26-133 establishes that an enforcing authority order issued pursuant to § 40-26-132 cannot retroactively undo or invalidate a transaction—such as a sale, lease, or encumbrance—that was completed before the order was issued, provided the party involved (buyer, lender, or tenant) had no actual knowledge of the underlying charge at the time. In other words, good-faith parties who entered into agreements without knowing about a pending charge are shielded from the order's reach. The protection applies only when the transaction was genuinely completed prior to the order's issuance and the party lacked actual notice.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers dealing with manufactured housing under Wyo. Stat. § 40-26-133 should be aware that any enforcing authority order issued after a lease or sale is finalized generally cannot unwind that completed transaction if the other party had no actual notice of a filed charge. Compliant operators typically maintain transparent records of any pending charges or regulatory actions so that prospective tenants and buyers can be informed before a transaction closes. Disclosing known charges before a transaction is consummated is a practice consistent with the protections and limitations this section establishes.

Under § 40-26-133 of Wyoming's Manufactured Housing Act, tenants who entered into a lease in good faith—without actual notice of a charge filed under this chapter—before an enforcing authority order was issued are generally protected from having that order invalidate their lease. If a tenant believes an enforcing authority order is being used to affect a lease they entered into without knowledge of any pending charge, they may have grounds to raise this provision as a defense or seek clarification from a tenant-rights organization familiar with Wyoming manufactured housing law. Tenants uncertain about how an order may affect their housing situation can also contact the Wyoming Department of Housing or a local legal aid organization for general information about their rights under this chapter.
