A notice to pay rent or quit—also known as an eviction notice or notice to vacate due to late rent—is a written letter demanding a tenant who is late paying rent (1) pay the rent by a certain date or (2) quit (leave or vacate) the premises.
In Wyoming, a notice to pay rent or quit is a legal document that a landlord can serve to a tenant who is late on their rent. This notice informs the tenant that they must either pay the overdue rent by a specified deadline or vacate the rental property. The notice period for nonpayment of rent in Wyoming is typically three days. This means that after serving the notice, the tenant has three days to pay the full amount of rent due or leave the premises. If the tenant fails to comply with the notice by either paying the rent or vacating the property, the landlord may then proceed with filing an eviction lawsuit, known as a forcible entry and detainer action, in the appropriate court. It is important for landlords to follow the specific legal procedures and requirements for serving this notice to ensure that any subsequent eviction action is valid under Wyoming law.
