Re: Notice to vacate — [Rental property address]

Dear [Your landlord's name],

Please accept this letter as my formal written notice that I will terminate my tenancy at [Rental property address] and vacate the premises on [Move-out date].

Under Wyoming Residential Rental Property Act (silent on periodic-tenancy notice) (Wyo. Stat. §§ 1-21-1201 to 1-21-1211), a tenant may terminate a month-to-month tenancy on reasonable written notice, and this letter also satisfies the notice provision of my lease. This notice is given in accordance with that requirement and with any additional notice period my lease provides.

I will leave the unit clean and in good condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and will return all keys and access devices on or before my move-out date. I would like a move-out inspection during my final week; please propose a date and time.

Please send my security deposit, with any itemized statement required by law, to my forwarding address: [Your forwarding address]. Kindly confirm receipt of this notice in writing.

Sincerely,

[Your full name]

Notice to vacate law in Wyoming

Tenant notice required: No statutory minimum
Governing statute: Wyo. Stat. §§ 1-21-1201 to 1-21-1211
How the clock runs: No Wyoming statute fixes a notice period for ending a month-to-month tenancy; under common-law practice endorsed by Wyoming court guidance, either party gives one full rental period's written notice (a full month, ending on a rent-period boundary). Whatever notice period the rental agreement specifies controls.
Delivering the notice: Because no statute governs, use dated written notice by personal delivery or certified mail and keep proof - Wyoming courts will look to the lease and to evidence of when notice was actually given.
Fixed-term leases: A fixed-term lease ends on its stated date, and Wyoming's freedom-of-contract approach means the lease's own renewal, holdover, and notice clauses control almost entirely; give any notice the lease requires or risk an automatic renewal.

Worth knowing: Wyoming is one of the few states with no statutory notice period at all for month-to-month terminations - the Residential Rental Property Act covers deposits and habitability but not notice. The Wyoming Judicial Branch's eviction guidance treats a month-to-month tenancy as endable on a full month's notice, and 30 days before the rent due date is the universally recommended safe harbor. The 3-day notice to quit in Wyoming's forcible entry and detainer statutes (Wyo. Stat. § 1-21-1002 et seq.) applies only to eviction after default or holdover, not to a tenant's routine departure. With so little statutory backstop, the rental agreement is effectively the whole law between the parties.

No Wyoming statute fixes a notice period for ending a month-to-month tenancy; under common-law practice endorsed by Wyoming court guidance, either party gives one full rental period's written notice (a full month, ending on a rent-period boundary).

Date math is unforgiving — the clock usually runs from the day your landlord receives the notice, not the day you write it. Build in a few days of cushion, and photograph the empty unit when you hand back the keys.

When to use this letter

Moving out should be the easy part — but in Wyoming, when you give notice and how you deliver it decide whether you owe another month of rent. The rule that matters: Wyoming sets no single statutory minimum for month-to-month tenants, but your lease almost certainly sets one — thirty days is the safe default, under Wyoming Residential Rental Property Act (silent on periodic-tenancy notice). This generator writes a tenant's notice to vacate that cites Wyo. Stat. §§ 1-21-1201 to 1-21-1211 by name, states your move-out date, and asks for the move-out inspection and your deposit instructions in the same letter — so nothing gets renegotiated later. No blank template to fight with: fill in your landlord, the address, and the date, then send it in a way you can prove, because notice clocks here run from delivery, not from the day you write it.
