Wyoming Mobile Home Park Rent Control: 2026 Guide

Is mobile home lot rent controlled in Wyoming?

No. Wyoming does not control mobile-home-lot rent in any form. There is no statewide rent cap, no percentage limit on increases, and no mobile-home-park tenant statute that would govern what you charge for a pad or how you raise it.

Wyoming is one of the most operator-favorable states in the country on this issue. The lot rent, the increase amount, and the notice you give are set by your lease and general common law — the statute books supply almost nothing. The one firm rule is procedural: before you can evict, you must serve a 3-day written notice to quit and go through the Forcible Entry & Detainer process.

The trade-off is that because so little is supplied by statute, your lease is doing all the work. If it is silent on increases, renewals, or termination, you have little to fall back on.

No statewide rent cap and no percentage limit

Wyoming has no law limiting how much you can raise mobile-home-lot rent and no law dictating how often you can raise it. There is no dollar cap and no percentage cap anywhere in the Wyoming statutes for any type of tenancy.

This applies to apartments, houses, and mobile home lots alike. The rent is whatever the lease provides and, at renewal, whatever the market will bear. Any ceiling on your increases comes only from the lease you signed, not from the state.

The lot is excluded from the landlord-tenant act, and there is no mobile-home-park act

Wyoming's main landlord-tenant statute is the Residential Rental Property Act (Wyo. Stat. §1-21-1201 et seq.). Its definition of 'residential rental unit' in §1-21-1201(a)(iv) ends by 'excluding a mobile home lot' — so a bare lot tenancy falls outside the Act's owner/renter duties, deposit rules, and remedies.

Wyoming also has no mobile-home-park-specific tenant act. The only 'Mobile Homes' article in the code (Title 31, Chapter 2, Article 5) lives under Motor Vehicles — Title and Registration and deals with titling the home as property, not with the landlord-tenant relationship on the lot.

The practical result: a month-to-month lot tenancy is terminated and re-priced under the lease and common law, and there is no statutory rent-increase notice you must give for a lot. To remove a tenant, you use Forcible Entry & Detainer (Wyo. Stat. §§1-21-1001 to 1-21-1017): §1-21-1002 covers holdover tenants and rent unpaid for three days, and §1-21-1003 requires a written notice to quit served at least 3 days before you file.

Local rent control in Wyoming

No Wyoming city or county has enacted rent control or rent stabilization, and none currently regulate lot-rent increases. Wyoming is a Dillon's Rule state, meaning local governments hold only the powers the legislature grants them, and rent control has not been granted.

We did not find a specific statute expressly preempting local rent control (contrary to some online summaries that miscite the landlord-tenant act). Treat the practical reality as controlling: there is no local rent cap anywhere in Wyoming today. Still, confirm the current ordinances in your specific municipality and county before setting increases, since local codes on parks, utilities, and platting can change.

Rent-increase rules at a glance in Wyoming

• Statewide cap
  None. No law limits the amount of a mobile-home-lot rent increase.
• Percentage cap
  None. Wyoming sets no percentage ceiling on increases for any tenancy.
• Mobile-home-park act
  None. Wyoming has no park-specific tenant statute; the 'Mobile Homes' article is a motor-vehicle titling law.
• Landlord-tenant act coverage
  A mobile home lot is expressly excluded from 'residential rental unit' under Wyo. Stat. §1-21-1201(a)(iv), so the Residential Rental Property Act does not govern the lot.
• Rent-increase notice for a lot
  No statutory notice. The increase and any notice follow the lease and common law, not a statute.
• Month-to-month termination
  Governed by the lease terms and common law; there is no mobile-home-park termination statute.
• Eviction path
  Forcible Entry & Detainer, Wyo. Stat. §§1-21-1001 to 1-21-1017, after a 3-day written notice to quit under §1-21-1003.
• Local rent control
  None in effect. No Wyoming locality caps rent; confirm your city/county code anyway.

Operator best practices in Wyoming

• Put every rent term in the lease
  Because the statutes supply almost nothing for lots, spell out the rent, the increase mechanism, the required notice, and renewal terms directly in the lease agreement.
• Define your own increase-notice period
  There is no statutory notice for a lot, so set a clear, reasonable written-notice period in the lease and follow it consistently across the park.
• Give ample written notice anyway
  Even without a legal minimum, generous written notice of increases reduces disputes, turnover, and vacancy at the pad.
• Follow the FED process exactly
  To evict, serve the 3-day written notice to quit and proceed under Wyo. Stat. §§1-21-1001 to 1-21-1017; do not attempt any self-help lockout or utility shutoff.
• Check local ordinances before you raise rent
  City and county codes can regulate parks, utilities, and platting even though none cap rent; verify your specific jurisdiction's current rules.
• Keep clean records of notices and payments
  With so little supplied by statute, dated copies of notices, ledgers, and served documents are your primary protection in any FED action.
• Build a relationship with a Wyoming MHP attorney
  Because Wyoming offers among the fewest mobile-home-park protections and leaves nearly everything to the lease and common law, have a Wyoming attorney review your lot lease and eviction procedures before you rely on them.
