Landlord & Tenant Laws in Wyoming.

Give the landlord your new mailing address after move-out. Wyoming’s deposit-return timing expressly refers to receipt of the tenant’s new mailing address.

If the amount sought is within Wyoming small claims limits, a tenant may file in circuit court small claims. Claims over that amount can still be brought as regular circuit-court civil actions up to the higher circuit-court jurisdictional limit.

A Wyoming landlord generally must return the security deposit or provide a written itemization of deductions within 30 days after termination of the rental agreement or 15 days after receiving the tenant’s new mailing address, whichever is later, but no later than 60 days after the rental agreement ends.

A landlord may generally apply the deposit to accrued rent, damages beyond reasonable wear and tear, cleaning the unit back to its beginning condition, and other costs authorized by the rental agreement.

If the landlord fails to provide the required written notice within the statutory time, the landlord may forfeit the right to withhold any portion of the deposit, and the tenant may recover the deposit with court costs.
