Wyoming security deposit law: the 30-day deadline and your rights
Balance plus written itemization due (without interest) within 30 days after termination OR 15 days after receipt of the renter's new mailing address, whichever is LATER; +30 days if there is damage to the unit. The renter must notify the owner of a payment address within 30 days of termination — a statutory duty.
What Wyoming law says
- Return deadline
- 30 days
- Statute
- Wyo. Stat. § 1-21-1208
Full deposit + court costs for unreasonable noncompliance — forfeiture only, no multiplier (§ 1-21-1208(c)). Counterweight: a renter found to have sued unreasonably can be ordered to pay the owner's court costs. Secondary sites claiming willfulness enhancements are wrong — no such provision exists.
