What counts as retaliation, and the window where the law presumes it
This page covers landlord retaliation in Wyoming — what a landlord may not do after you exercise a protected right.
It does not cover commercial leases, or conduct outside the protected window described below.
怀俄明**无一般反报复成文法**。RRPA（1-21-1201~1211）与 FED（1-21-1001~1016）均无报复条款；唯一窄保护是 Safe Homes Act（1-21-1303，家暴/性侵/跟踪受害者）。
报复只能作为普通法/衡平法抗辩个案主张，无 controlling 州最高法院判例明确采纳报复性驱逐抗辩。唯一例外：Safe Homes Act 1-21-1303——家暴/性侵/跟踪受害者 7 天书面通知可提前终止租约，且房东不得仅因受害者身份终止租约（1303(c)），该权利不可 waive（1304）。
None (no general anti-retaliation statute); W.S. § 1-21-1303 (Safe Homes Act) ↗Wyoming does not set a statutory presumption window. Whether an action counts as retaliation depends on the facts rather than a fixed clock.
无推定窗口。WY 官方无任何报复推定或 look-back 期（无 90 天/6 个月/1 年规则）；租客须自行证明报复动机，时间仅是旁证。
None (no presumption window) ↗无一般受保护行为清单（无报复成文法）。唯一窄保护：Safe Homes Act 1-21-1303 的家暴/性侵/跟踪受害者。
None (no general anti-retaliation statute); W.S. § 1-21-1303 ↗联邦公平住房法（FHAct）仍适用：房东不得因种族/残障/家庭状况等受保护类别采取不利行动（Wyoming Fair Housing Act 1-21-1301 等亦镜像）。
Federal Fair Housing Act; Wyo. Stat. (Fair Housing) ↗无一般成文法禁止清单。Safe Homes Act 禁止仅因受害者身份终止租约（1303(c)）。
W.S. § 1-21-1303(c) ↗无推定；租客须证明房东报复动机（普通法/衡平法抗辩），举证责任在租客。
None (common-law/equitable defense) ↗无成文法报复损害赔偿或倍率；租客可主张合同/普通法损害（违约、quiet enjoyment 违约），费用依租约（1008）。Safe Homes Act 下家暴终止可作驱逐抗辩。
None (no statutory retaliation damages); W.S. § 1-21-1008 ↗无一般报复成文法，故无成文法例外清单；联邦公平住房与 mobile home park（Mobile Home Parks Act 另有报复保护）除外。

Where the official text and a secondary summary disagree, this page follows the official text and says so. Where a provision admits of more than one reading, that is flagged rather than smoothed over.
