Notice for unpaid rent
A forcible entry and detainer case may be brought against a tenant after a failure to pay rent for 3 days after it is due (Wyo. Stat. § 1-21-1002(a)(i)). The landlord must serve a written notice to leave the premises at least 3 days before filing (§ 1-21-1003). The statute does not provide a right to pay rent to stop the case.
Can the tenant pay to stop it? State law gives no right to pay and stop the eviction once the notice is served.

Notice for a lease violation
A case may be brought against a renter who violates the duties in § 1-21-1204 (e.g. keeping the unit clean and safe, staying current on payments, following the rental agreement) or the prohibitions in § 1-21-1205 (damage, interfering with others' peaceful enjoyment, unreasonably refusing entry) (§ 1-21-1002(a)(vi)), after a written 3-day notice to leave (§ 1-21-1003).

- Law:

How the days are counted
The notice must be served at least 3 days before the action is filed (Wyo. Stat. § 1-21-1003). The statute does not say how to count the days, whether weekends or holidays are excluded, or what happens if the last day falls on a weekend.
How the notice must be delivered
By leaving a written copy with the tenant, or at the tenant's usual place of abode or business if the tenant cannot be found (Wyo. Stat. § 1-21-1003).
If the tenant doesn't pay, fix it or leave
The landlord files a forcible entry and detainer action in circuit court (Wyo. Stat. § 1-21-1001). The summons must be served 3 to 12 days before the trial date; the tenant does not have to file a written answer to take full part in the trial (§§ 1-21-1004, 1-21-1006). If the landlord wins, the court issues a writ of restitution, which the officer executes within 2 days (Sundays excepted) unless the tenant appeals (§§ 1-21-1012, 1-21-1013). If the renter does not leave as ordered, the sheriff may remove the renter's possessions (§ 1-21-1211(a)). Legal Aid of Wyoming states a landlord cannot lock a tenant out for nonpayment or shut off water, electricity or gas; the landlord must give a notice to quit and file in circuit court.
Also good to know
- Wyoming has no statute requiring a cure period before eviction for nonpayment or lease violations; a lease may give more rights.
- Property left after the tenancy ends may be disposed of after a 7-day written notice (Wyo. Stat. § 1-21-1210).
