Wyo. Stat. Ann. §§ 40-26-101 to 40-26-145 § 40-26-105
Inspection.
Operative Text
40-26-105. Inspection. A person may not represent to an individual because of race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status or national origin that a dwelling is not available for inspection for sale or rental when the dwelling is available for inspection.
Wyoming Statute § 40-26-105 prohibits anyone from falsely telling a prospective buyer or renter that a dwelling is unavailable for inspection when it actually is available, if that false statement is made because of the person's race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, or national origin. This is a fair housing protection designed to prevent discriminatory gatekeeping at the very first step of the housing search process. The rule applies to both sales and rental housing.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 40-26-105, compliant property owners and managers maintain consistent, documented policies for scheduling and conducting property inspections that apply equally to all prospective tenants and buyers regardless of race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, or national origin. Operators generally keep records of how and when inspection availability is communicated to applicants, so that uniform treatment can be demonstrated. Training leasing staff to apply the same availability standards to every inquiry is a common practice associated with compliance.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section § 40-26-105 gives prospective renters and buyers the right not to be falsely told a dwelling is unavailable for inspection on the basis of protected characteristics such as race, national origin, disability, or familial status. If you believe you were denied an inspection opportunity for a discriminatory reason, general enforcement paths include filing a complaint with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development or contacting a local fair housing or tenant-rights organization for guidance. Documenting the communications you received about inspection availability — including dates, names, and the substance of any responses — is a step commonly associated with pursuing such a claim.
General guidance for tenants — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult a tenant-rights organization or attorney for advice on your case.
