Renting with an ESA in Cheyenne
Cheyenne's rentals include older homes in the Avenues and near downtown, apartment complexes on the south and east sides and newer subdivisions like Buffalo Ridge. F.E. Warren Air Force Base keeps a steady flow of military renters, and every July Cheyenne Frontier Days fills the city with visitors. Wyoming's landlord-tenant law is fairly brief, so federal fair housing rules do most of the work for renters who need an assistance animal. Keep copies of everything you send.

Wyoming ESA laws for Cheyenne renters
Wyoming's disability rights statute, Wyo. Stat. 35-13-201, says renters can't be discriminated against for having an assistance animal that the federal Fair Housing Act permits. Because state law counts animals that provide emotional support easing the symptoms of a disability as assistance animals, an ESA fits inside that protection. You remain liable for damage the animal does to the rental.
- Wyo. Stat. 35-13-205 defines an assistance animal more broadly than a service animal, including animals that relieve identified symptoms or effects of a disability through emotional support.
- Knowingly misrepresenting an animal's status is a misdemeanor carrying a fine of up to $750, under 35-13-203(b).
- Wyoming's workforce agency handles employment discrimination only, so housing discrimination complaints from Wyoming are filed with HUD.
