Publication.
Operative Text
40-26-104. Publication. A person may not make, print or publish or effect the making, printing or publishing of a notice, statement or advertisement that is about the sale or rental of a dwelling and that indicates any preference, limitation or discrimination or the intention to make a preference, limitation or discrimination because of race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status or national origin.
Wyoming Statute § 40-26-104 prohibits any person from creating or distributing notices, statements, or advertisements related to the sale or rental of a dwelling that express a preference, limitation, or discrimination—or an intent to discriminate—based on race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, or national origin. This rule applies to the content of the communication itself, regardless of the medium used to publish it. The provision covers not only those who directly produce such materials but also those who cause them to be produced or distributed.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 40-26-104, compliant property owners and managers review all rental listings, flyers, and advertisements to ensure no language signals a preference or exclusion based on protected characteristics such as race, religion, disability, or familial status. This includes postings on online platforms, printed flyers, and any other medium used to market a unit. Operators generally audit their advertising templates and work with any third-party marketing services to confirm that published materials meet this standard.

Section § 40-26-104 gives prospective renters a basis to challenge discriminatory language they encounter in rental advertisements, as such content is prohibited under Wyoming law. If a person encounters a listing that appears to express a preference or limitation based on a protected characteristic, general enforcement paths include filing a complaint with a fair housing agency or contacting a tenant-rights or fair housing organization for guidance. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development also accepts fair housing complaints that may relate to violations of this type of provision.
