How to Evict a Tenant in Wyoming

Step 1 – Notice to Quit

If a tenant violates their lease, the landlord must serve a notice to quit and allow at least three days for the tenant to leave the premises before filing an action in court. The notice may be delivered to the tenant directly, or visibly posted at their residence or workplace.

If the notice includes a way for the tenant to resolve the issue, and they do during the notice period, they must be permitted to stay.

Step 2 – Summons and Complaint

To evict a tenant, the landlord must file a Complaint (Forcible Entry and Detainer or “FED”) at the Circuit Court in the county where the rental property is located. The court will issue a Summons, which must be served on the tenant by the sheriff or a process server (the court clerk will provide the exact requirements).

Step 3 – Tenant’s Answer (optional)

The tenant may file an Answer to the Complaint for Forcible Entry and Detainer with the court clerk to address the landlord’s complaint, but failing to do so won’t result in a default judgment against them.

Step 4 – Trial

The trial before a judge will take place on the day indicated on the Summons. If the landlord wins the case, the landlord can file, and the court will issue, a Writ of Restitution, ordering the tenant to move out. If the tenant owes any unpaid rent, the court will also issue a Writ of Execution. Both forms will be sent to the sheriff’s office.

Step 5 – Writ of Execution/Restitution

After the verdict, the sheriff will serve the Writ of Restitution and, if applicable, the Writ of Execution on the tenant within two days. The sheriff will restore the landlord’s possession of the premises by removing the tenant and overseeing the landlord change the locks.
