(a) To protect the physical health and safety of the
renter, each owner shall:
(i) Not rent the residential rental unit unless it is
reasonably safe, sanitary and fit for human occupancy;
(ii) Maintain common areas of the residential rental
unit in a sanitary and reasonably safe condition;
(iii) Maintain electrical systems, plumbing, heating
and hot and cold water; and
(iv) Maintain other appliances and facilities as
specifically contracted in the rental agreement.
(b) If the renter is current on all payments required by
the rental agreement and has reasonable cause supported by
evidence to believe the residential rental unit does not comply
with the standards for health and safety required under this
article, the renter shall advise the owner in writing of the
condition and specify the remedial action the renter requests be
taken by the owner. Within a reasonable time after receipt of
this notice, the owner shall either commence action to correct
the condition of the residential rental unit or notify the
renter in writing that the owner disputes the renter's claim.
The notices required by this subsection shall be served by
certified mail or in the manner specified by W.S. 1-21-1003.
(c) The owner shall not be required to correct or remedy
any condition caused by the renter, the renter's family or the
renter's guests or invitees by inappropriate use or misuse of
the property during the rental term or any extension of it.
(d) The owner may refuse to correct the condition of the
residential rental unit and terminate the rental agreement if
the costs of repairs exceeds an amount which would be reasonable
in light of the rent charged, the nature of the rental property
or rental agreement. If the owner refuses to correct the
condition and intends to terminate the rental agreement, he
shall notify the renter in writing within a reasonable time
after receipt of the notice of noncompliance and shall provide
the renter with sufficient time to find substitute housing,
which shall be no less than ten (10) days nor more than twenty
(20) days from the date of the notice. If the rental agreement
is terminated, the rent paid shall be prorated to the date the
renter vacates the unit and any balance shall be refunded to the
renter along with any deposit due in accordance with W.S.
