Your landlord must act within 30 days after termination, or 15 days after receiving the tenant's new mailing address, whichever is later (plus up to 30 more days for damage deductions) under Wyo. Stat. § 1-21-1208. If they missed it, a statute-cited demand letter is the fastest first move.

What that can mean in dollars

Example: $1,500 deposit wrongfully withheld → recovery of the withheld amount.

Most landlords understand this math, which is why a letter that cites Wyo. Stat. § 1-21-1208 and states the deadline they missed is often enough to get a check without going to court.

Wyoming deposit questions

How long does a landlord have to return a security deposit in Wyoming?
Under Wyo. Stat. § 1-21-1208, the landlord generally must act within 30 days after termination, or 15 days after receiving the tenant's new mailing address, whichever is later (plus up to 30 more days for damage deductions). If the landlord keeps any portion, an itemized written statement of deductions is required. This is general legal information — the statute contains conditions and exceptions.
What happens if my landlord misses the Wyoming deadline?
Unreasonable failure to comply entitles the renter to recover the full deposit and court costs; an itemized statement of deductions is mandatory. A written demand letter that cites Wyo. Stat. § 1-21-1208 puts the landlord on notice that you know the deadline has passed and what the statute allows you to pursue.
Do I need a lawyer to send a demand letter in Wyoming?
No. A demand letter is something any tenant can send on their own behalf. Our service prepares the letter from the facts you provide and the current text of Wyo. Stat. § 1-21-1208, and mails it by USPS Certified Mail so you have proof of delivery. If your dispute is complex or high-value, talking to a licensed Wyoming attorney is a sensible next step — many take deposit cases because several statutes shift attorney's fees to the landlord.
