Wyoming security deposit law

How do I write a security deposit demand letter in Wyoming?

The short answer

Cite Wyo. Stat. § 1-21-1208, state the 60 days deadline and the date it passed, itemize the amount owed, set a 10 to 14 day response date, and send it certified mail. Specific beats angry: the statute does the threatening for you.

A Wyoming demand letter works when it reads like it was written by someone who knows the law. The structure:

1. The facts: tenancy address, move-out date, deposit amount, what has and has not been returned. 2. The law: cite Wyo. Stat. § 1-21-1208 and the 60 days return deadline, and the itemized-statement requirement, and state the date the deadline passed. 3. The demand: the exact dollar amount, a response deadline of 10 to 14 days, and where to send payment. 4. The consequence: state that you are prepared to pursue the matter in Circuit Court — Small Claims, where Wyoming law provides for recovery of the full amount plus costs.

Tone: calm, factual, specific. Dates, amounts, and statute citations do the persuading; anger and threats undermine it. Address it to the landlord or manager exactly as named in your lease.

Delivery is part of the letter: send it by certified mail with return receipt, and keep a copy. The dated receipt is your proof of demand, the exhibit a Circuit Court — Small Claims judge asks for first.
