Renting in Wyoming
This site documents a three-day District Court case in Laramie, Wyoming, and the broader patterns that shaped how it unfolded.
I am an openly gay man who grew up in Wyoming, and while my identity did not cause what happened to me, it played a clear role in how the situation was perceived, minimized, and handled. This website presents the facts, the evidence, the police timeline, and the lived context behind a case that raises serious concerns about accountability, bias, and public safety.
Wyoming Tenants Deserve Basic Protection
In 2024, a tenant incident in Albany County exposed the vulnerability of renters in Wyoming and highlighted the need for landlord-tenant reform, as current laws may not provide clear protections where public intervention is expected.
Wyoming continues to be one of the most challenging states in the U.S. for renters to contest unfair or lopsided lease terms, leaving most tenants unaware of the risks they are signing into.
This site aims to help renters understand their tenant rights in Wyoming, raise awareness of these risks, and advocate for necessary rental market protection to ensure that Wyoming’s rental market remains fair, stable, and just for all — not just for those with power, wealth, or institutional leverage.

Renting in Wyoming
Many tenants in places like Wyoming — especially young renters and LGBTQ+ individuals in university towns — occupy homes with the belief that basic tenant rights automatically exist. Most assume that safety, privacy, and fair treatment are standard expectations in the rental market.
However, in some states, the law is structured in a way that leaves renters dangerously under-protected, under-informed, and vulnerable to exploitation. This leads to normalized systems of power imbalance, particularly when landlords wield social, local political, or financial influence.
Our Mission
Every tenant, especially those in Wyoming, deserves to be aware of their tenant rights and the fundamental protections that should be afforded to them. When protections are weak or unclear, significant power imbalances can become normalized. This site exists to raise awareness about landlord-tenant reform, share the realities that can occur, and advocate for changes so that no tenant is left vulnerable again.
This mission is also for queer youth in Wyoming — so they know they’re not crazy, not alone, and not imagining the quiet forms of bias that still exist. In 2025, this happened to a 35-year-old professional Wyoming native, despite claims that “those days are over.” My story raises an uncomfortable truth: if the state is truly past its history, how did this still happen? And why were the systems built to protect me so quick to dismiss it? Wyoming must reckon with not just the violation of my home, but the deeper betrayal of the home state I once trusted.
Why This Matters
When an 18-year-old student signs a lease in a university town, they are rarely negotiating from equal footing. They often find themselves alone, inexperienced, financially limited, and trusting. Many may not grasp legal jargon, implied power dynamics, or even what their rights are if something goes wrong in their own home.
Defending the most basic rights of personal safety within one’s residence should not require a law degree, a background in trauma, or the threat of litigation.

This site is not built out of retaliation nor does it make allegations of wrongdoing. It focuses on tenant education and highlights systemic policy gaps based on publicly available information.
This is a site born from the transformation of harm into purpose — ensuring that the next person does not have to endure the same struggles.
