Wyoming security deposit rules

30 days
to return your deposit or send an itemized list
Full deposit plus court costs for unreasonable failure
possible penalty if they don't follow the rules

30 days, or 15 days after the landlord gets your address if later (plus 30 more for damage claims).

Give your landlord your forwarding address in writing. In Wyoming it affects the deadline or the penalty.

What to do to get your deposit back

  1. Photograph every room when you move out (walls, floors, appliances, inside cabinets). Keep your move-in photos too.
  2. Send your forwarding address in writing, with the date.
  3. Mark the deadline: 30 days after you move out.
  4. If it's late or the deductions look wrong, send a written demand letter that cites Wyo. Stat. 1-21-1208.
  5. Still nothing? Small claims court is built for this, and you usually don't need a lawyer.
