Renting in Wyoming
In early 2024, a tenant incident in Albany County exposed how current Wyoming lease law can leave renters without practical protection.
Wyoming Tenants Deserve Basic Protection
In 2024, a tenant incident in Albany County exposed how vulnerable renters in Wyoming truly are — and how current law can fail to protect them even in situations where the public would expect the law to intervene.
Wyoming remains one of the most difficult states in the U.S. to challenge unfair or lopsided lease terms, and most renters have no idea the risk they are signing into.
This site exists to help renters understand those risks, empower them with awareness, and advocate for reasonable statutory reform so Wyoming’s rental market remains fair, stable, and just for everyone — not just for those with power, wealth, or institutional leverage.

Renting in Wyoming
Many tenants in places like Wyoming — especially young renters in university towns — occupy homes with a belief that basic tenant rights automatically exist. Most assume safety, privacy, and fair treatment are standard.
But in some states, the law is written in a way that leaves renters dangerously under-protected, under-informed, and easy to exploit. Systems of power imbalance become normalized — especially when landlords hold social, local political, or financial influence.
Our Mission
Many tenants in places like Wyoming — especially young renters in college towns — deserve basic rights and clear knowledge of those rights. When protections are weak or unclear, abuses of power become normalized. This site exists to raise awareness, tell the truth of what can happen, and push for reform so no tenant is left vulnerable again.
Why This Matters
When an 18-year-old student signs a lease in a university town, they are not negotiating from equal footing. They are often alone, inexperienced, financially limited, and trusting. They may not understand legal jargon, implied power dynamics, or what their rights actually are if something goes wrong inside their own home.
It should not require a law degree, a trauma background, or litigation to defend the most basic rights of personal safety inside one’s residence.
