A Wyoming eviction notice is submitted by a landlord to a tenant who has violated the terms and conditions of a lease. The notice will include the offense and instructions on how the tenant can return to compliance with their agreement. If the tenant rejects communication, the landlord can file a Forcible Entry and Detainer lawsuit at the Circuit Court.
