What Wyoming law says

Ending a lease: military, medical, death	No state statute found for military (beyond federal SCRA), medical, senior, or tenant-death early termination. A court may terminate the rental agreement as relief in a renter's habitability action; the renter then gets the rent balance and deposit back within 30 days and must vacate 10-20 days after termination. Source: Wyo. Stat. 1-21-1206(c), (d)
Ending a lease: domestic violence	Yes, as a defense to rent claims (Wyoming Safe Homes Act). A tenant who moves out is not liable for rent for the period after vacating if the court finds, by a preponderance of the evidence, either (1) the tenant or a household member was under a credible imminent threat of domestic abuse or sexual violence (sexual assault, sexual abuse or stalking) at the premises, shown by medical, court or police evidence, and the tenant gave the landlord 7 days' written notice before vacating stating that reason; or (2) the tenant or a household member was a victim of domestic abuse or sexual violence on premises owned or controlled by the landlord, the tenant gave 7 days' written notice before vacating stating the reason and the date and that medical, court or police evidence was provided to the landlord, and the abuse occurred no more than 60 days before the notice (or as soon as practicable if hospitalization, shelter or counseling prevented earlier notice). Rent owed before the tenant gave notice and vacated is still owed, and eviction for earlier nonpayment is not barred. A landlord may not terminate a tenancy based solely on a tenant's or household member's status as a victim. These rights cannot be waived or modified in a lease or separate agreement. Source: Wyo. Stat. 1-21-1301 to 1-21-1304
