Investigation.
Operative Text
40-26-120. Investigation.
(a) If the federal government has referred a complaint to
the enforcing authority or has deferred jurisdiction over the
subject matter of the complaint to the enforcing authority, the
enforcing authority shall investigate the allegations set forth
in the complaint.
(b) The enforcing authority shall investigate all
complaints and, except as provided by subsection (c) of this
section, shall complete an investigation not later than the
hundredth day after the date the complaint is filed or, if it is
impracticable to complete the investigation within the one
hundred (100) day period, shall dispose of all administrative
proceedings related to the investigation not later than the
first anniversary after the date the complaint is filed.
(c) If the enforcing authority is unable to complete an
investigation within the time periods prescribed by subsection
(b) of this section, the enforcing authority shall notify the
complainant and the respondent in writing of the reasons for the
delay.Wyoming Statute § 40-26-120 establishes timelines and procedures for investigating fair housing complaints. When a complaint is filed, the enforcing authority is generally required to complete its investigation within 100 days; if that deadline cannot be met, all related administrative proceedings must be resolved within one year of the complaint's filing date. If either deadline cannot be met, the enforcing authority must notify both the person who filed the complaint and the person named in the complaint, in writing, explaining the reasons for the delay.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 40-26-120, property owners and managers named as respondents in a fair housing complaint can expect to be part of a structured investigation process with defined timelines. A compliant operator generally keeps records of all communications with the enforcing authority and responds promptly to any requests for information during the investigation period. If the investigation extends beyond 100 days, operators should expect to receive written notification explaining the delay, and maintaining organized documentation throughout the process is a practice consistent with good compliance management.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section § 40-26-120 gives complainants the right to have their fair housing complaint investigated within a set timeframe — typically 100 days from filing, or no later than one year for full resolution of administrative proceedings. If the enforcing authority cannot meet the 100-day deadline, it is required to notify you in writing with an explanation for the delay. Tenants who believe their complaint is not being processed according to these timelines may consider reaching out to the enforcing authority directly, contacting a local tenant-rights organization, or exploring whether a referral to a federal agency is appropriate.
