    The Process, Start to Finish

    Four steps. Two weeks or less. No mystery.

    1

    Submit Pre-Application

    Fill out the form below — about 3 minutes. We use it to confirm the property is still available and that the basics line up before asking you to pay for screening.

    2

    Background & Credit Screening

    If you're a fit, we email you a secure link from RentSpree (our screening partner — TransUnion-backed, applicant-paid, $39.99 covering credit, criminal, eviction history). You complete it directly with them. We never see your Social Security Number or full credit details.

    3

    Application Review

    Within 48 business hours of completed screening, a licensed Wyo Stays team member reviews your full file against our written rental criteria. You get a real reply either way — approved, conditional, or declined with the legally required adverse-action notice.

    4

    Lease Signing & Keys

    Approved applicants sign the lease, pay the security deposit and first month's rent, and pick up keys. Move-in coordination happens with a real human on our team — not a chatbot, not an automated lockbox system.

    "Two weeks from inquiry to keys is typical. Faster when the property is move-in ready and the application is complete on submission."

    Our Rental Criteria

    Written criteria. Applied evenly. Federally compliant.

    Wyo Stays applies the same written rental criteria to every applicant — every time. Federal Fair Housing law requires it, and frankly, we believe in it. Here's what we evaluate and what we don't.

    What we evaluate

    • Verified incomeGenerally 2.5–3x monthly rent in gross monthly income, demonstrated through pay stubs, tax returns, or bank-verified income through RentSpree.
    • Credit historyA reasonable credit profile. Specific score thresholds are evaluated in context with the full application. Lower scores can be offset by additional deposit, co-signer, or strong rental history.
    • Rental historyAt least two years of verifiable rental or homeownership history, ideally with positive references from prior landlords.
    • Eviction & criminal historyReviewed individually per applicable law. Past challenges are not automatic disqualifiers.
    • Income stabilitySteady employment or verifiable self-employment income.

    What we don't consider

    • Race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, or disability — protected under the federal Fair Housing Act.
    • Source of lawful income — including housing vouchers, Social Security, disability income, or other government assistance, where state or local law applies.
    • Marital status, age (40+), or sexual orientation.
    • Anything outside the written criteria above.

    "Wyo Stays is a licensed, insured Wyoming vacation rental brokerage. We apply written, equal-opportunity rental criteria to every applicant. If you have questions about our criteria or need a reasonable accommodation under the Fair Housing Act, call (307) 312-9656."

    Pre-Application

    Start with the basics.

    This form is the first step — not the full application. We use it to confirm the property and run the basics. After this, you'll receive the secure screening link by email.

    Before You Submit

    Have these handy. It speeds the second step.

    The pre-application form above doesn't require documents — but the screening step in RentSpree will. Gathering these now means you can complete the full screening in 15 minutes instead of an evening.

    • Government-issued photo IDdriver's license, passport, or state ID
    • Proof of incomemost recent two pay stubs OR last year's tax return OR three months of bank statements
    • Employer contactname, phone, and HR/manager email
    • Current and previous landlord referencesnames, phone numbers, dates of tenancy
    • Co-applicant infoif anyone is applying with you (each co-applicant completes a separate full screening)
    • Pet documentation if applicablebreed, weight, vaccination records, prior-rental history

    "Wyo Stays does not ask for your Social Security Number, date of birth, or banking details on this site. Those go directly to RentSpree's secure, FCRA-compliant screening platform — we never see them."

    What Happens After You're Approved

    Once your application's approved and the lease is signed, we make the rest easy. You'll get access to a free Wyo Stays utility portal that connects electric, gas, water, and internet for your new address in minutes — no scrambling before move-in.

    Equal Housing Opportunity · FCRA Compliant · Licensed Wyoming Brokerage

    EQUAL HOUSING

    Wyo Stays is committed to compliance with all federal, state, and local fair housing laws. We will not discriminate against any person because of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, familial status, disability, or any other protected class under federal Fair Housing law or applicable Wyoming state law. We will make reasonable accommodations and modifications in our rules, policies, practices, and services as needed by persons with disabilities.

    Wyo Stays applies written, consistent rental criteria to all applicants. Applicants who are denied housing receive a written adverse action notice pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), including the contact information of the consumer reporting agency that supplied the information and the applicant's right to dispute.

    If you believe you have been discriminated against, you may file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development at hud.gov/fairhousing or 1-800-669-9777 (TTY 1-800-927-9275). Wyo Stays welcomes the opportunity to address concerns directly — call (307) 312-9656 or email daltongoodyear@wyostays.com.

    Applicant Questions

    The honest answers.

    Is there a fee to submit this pre-application?
    No. The pre-application on this page is free. If you move to the screening step, RentSpree charges a $39.99 applicant fee covering credit, criminal background, and eviction history reports. The fee is paid directly to RentSpree — Wyo Stays doesn't receive any portion of it.
    How long does the full process take?
    From pre-application submission to keys is typically 7–14 days, depending on how quickly you complete the screening step and whether the property is move-in ready on your desired date. Faster turnarounds are possible when everyone moves quickly; slower is possible if you need time to gather documents.
    What credit score do you require?
    We don't use a single hard credit-score cutoff. We evaluate credit history in context — payment patterns, balances, recent issues, and how everything fits with rental history and income. Lower scores can sometimes be offset by additional security deposit, a co-signer, or a strong rental track record. Specific concerns get a real conversation, not an automated rejection.
    Do you accept housing vouchers (Section 8) or other lawful income sources?
    Yes. Wyo Stays does not discriminate against applicants based on source of lawful income. Housing vouchers, Social Security, disability income, child support, and other lawful sources are evaluated the same as any other income. We process voucher paperwork through the local housing authority.
    Can I apply with a co-signer or guarantor?
    Yes, where appropriate. Co-signers go through the same screening process as primary applicants. They take on equal financial responsibility under the lease — make sure your co-signer understands that before applying.
    Are pets allowed?
    Pet policies vary by property. Many of our long-term rentals allow pets with an additional pet deposit and monthly pet rent. Specific property pet policies are listed on each property page at wyostays.com/rentals. Service animals and emotional support animals are accommodated per the federal Fair Housing Act regardless of property-level pet policy.
    What if I'm denied — can I find out why?
    Yes. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, every denial includes a written adverse action notice telling you which consumer reporting agency supplied the information used, your right to a free copy of that report within 60 days, and your right to dispute inaccuracies. Wyo Stays sends this notice automatically through RentSpree's FCRA-compliant workflow.
    Do you offer short-term or month-to-month rentals through this process?
    This application is for long-term rentals (typically 6–12 month leases). For short-term vacation rentals — anything from a single night to a few weeks — see wyostays.com/venues or book directly at book.wyostays.com.
    Can I tour the property before applying?
    Yes — and we recommend it. Tour requests go through wyostays.com/rentals or by calling (307) 312-9656. Most properties offer self-guided showing slots or in-person tours by appointment. Applying without seeing the property in person is fine for out-of-state movers — we can do video walk-throughs.
    How do I reach a real person at Wyo Stays?
    (307) 312-9656 reaches a real human on our Sheridan-based team Monday through Saturday during business hours. For email, daltongoodyear@wyostays.com. For after-hours emergencies on a current lease, contact info is on the welcome packet at move-in.
