How Wyoming security deposits work
Wyoming puts no cap on a residential security deposit, so a landlord may ask for any amount the lease sets, though one month of rent is typical. One rule stands out here: if any part of the deposit is nonrefundable, the lease must say so in writing and the landlord must give you written notice of that fact when the deposit is taken (Wyo. Stat. 1-21-1207). Miss that step and a court will treat the whole amount as refundable. After the tenancy ends, the landlord must return the balance, without interest, and a written list of any deductions within 30 days, or within 15 days after you provide a forwarding address, whichever is later (Wyo. Stat. 1-21-1208). If the unit was damaged beyond normal wear and tear, that window stretches by another 30 days, up to 60 in total. A landlord who unreasonably fails to comply can be made to return the full deposit plus your court costs.
