What to do if your Wyoming landlord won't return your deposit
- Confirm the 30-day window has passed since you provided a forwarding address.
- Document the unit's move-out condition with photos and any walk-through notes.
- Send a formal demand letter citing Wyoming's deposit return deadline and statutory damages.
- If the landlord ignores your demand, file in small claims court — Wyoming allows up to 1x damages for wrongful withholding.
