Wyo. Stat. Ann. § 40-19-110

Reinstatement

Known as the Wyoming Consumer Rental-Purchase Agreement Act

The act spans §§ 40-19-101 to 40-19-120 (19 sections).

(a) Any consumer whose default consists solely of a failure to make a timely rental payment may reinstate the agreement, without losing any rights or options which exist under the agreement, by paying the following charges within seven (7) days of the renewal date of the agreement:

(i) All past due rental charges;

(ii) If the property has been picked-up, the reasonable costs of pickup and redelivery as limited by W.S. 40-19-108(a)(xi); and (iii) Any applicable reinstatement fee as limited by W.S. 40-19-108(a)(x) and (xi).

(b) In the case of a consumer who has paid less than two-thirds (2/3) of the total of payments necessary to acquire ownership and where the consumer has returned or voluntarily surrendered the property within seven (7) days of the renewal date, other than through judicial process, the consumer may reinstate the agreement during a period of not less than twenty-one (21) days after the date of the return of the property.

(c) In the case of a consumer who has paid two-thirds (2/3) or more of the total of payments necessary to acquire ownership, and where the consumer has returned or voluntarily surrendered the property within seven (7) days of the renewal date, other than through judicial process, the consumer may reinstate the agreement during a period of not less than thirty (30) days after the date of the return of the property.

(d) Nothing in this section shall prevent a merchant from attempting to repossess the property. Repossession within seven (7) days of the renewal date shall not affect the consumer's right to reinstate. Upon reinstatement, the merchant shall provide the consumer with the same property, if available, or with substitute property of comparable quality and condition.
