Wyoming Property Management
Practice Questions & Answers (2026)

Property management questions on the Wyoming exam cover both the practical aspects of managing rental properties and the landlord-tenant law specific to Wyoming. The Wyoming Real Estate Commission tests security deposit limits, required notice periods for entry and termination, habitability standards, and the property manager's fiduciary duties. Wyoming's landlord-tenant law has specific provisions — including notice requirements and tenant protections — that differ from what national study materials cover. These questions often involve scenarios where a property manager must navigate competing obligations to the owner-client and the tenant.

Q1. A Wyoming property manager collects security deposits from tenants. These deposits must be:

A.Deposited into the manager's personal account for safekeeping
B.Held in a separate trust or escrow account and not commingled with operating funds
C.Invested in securities to earn maximum return
D.Forwarded directly to the property owner

Explanation

Security deposits are tenant funds and must be held in a separate trust or escrow account, not commingled with the property manager's or owner's operating funds. Commingling is a serious violation.

Q2. A Wyoming residential landlord must return a security deposit to a departing tenant within:

A.10 days
B.15 days

Explanation

Wyoming law requires a landlord to return the security deposit (or provide an itemized statement of deductions) within 30 days after the tenant vacates the property.

Q3. A Wyoming tenant's lease expires and the tenant stays beyond the lease term without a new agreement. The tenancy converts to:

A.A tenancy at sufferance
B.A periodic tenancy (month-to-month)
C.A fee simple tenancy
