The rules in Wyoming
| Ending a month-to-month lease | No statute — Wyoming sets no notice period for ending a month-to-month tenancy; the rental agreement governs. A periodic tenancy is not implied by law: when a lease ends, a tenant who stays (even if rent is accepted) is only a tenant by sufferance unless a new written agreement is signed. To remove a tenant who holds over, the landlord must serve a 3-day notice to quit before filing an FED case. If your written agreement sets a notice period for ending a month-to-month rental, follow it. Because the statutes are silent, how much notice a court requires to end a tenancy by sufferance or an unwritten periodic arrangement may depend on the facts; get legal advice if the notice you received seems too short.
