A Wyoming lease agreement is a contract between a lessor and lessee that indicates the rental conditions for commercial or residential property. Lease agreements allow the lessee, or “tenant,” to occupy a property for a specified period in exchange for monthly rent. Before authorizing a tenancy, landlords often require a security deposit from the applicant. This is not only to validate the applicant’s intent to rent a property, but it ensures that the landlord will have funds to cover repair costs if the tenant damages the property.
