For Property Managers

Wyoming Statute § 40-26-138 means that if a subpoena is issued against a property owner or manager in a proceeding under this chapter, compliance is not optional — the enforcing authority or the requesting party can take the matter to district court to compel a response. Operators who receive a subpoena under this chapter generally document their receipt of it and consult qualified legal counsel promptly. Understanding that court enforcement is available to the other side helps property managers appreciate the seriousness of subpoena obligations in these proceedings.

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

For Tenants

Under § 40-26-138, tenants or their representatives who are parties to a proceeding under this chapter may also request subpoenas, and if those subpoenas are ignored, district court enforcement is available as a remedy. This provision means that the subpoena process is not merely procedural — it carries real legal weight backed by judicial authority. Tenants navigating proceedings under this chapter may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid provider to understand how subpoena tools could be relevant to their situation.
