Wyoming security deposit law
What if my landlord never sent an itemized statement in Wyoming?
The short answer
That is a violation in Wyoming: Wyo. Stat. § 1-21-1208 requires an itemized statement of deductions within 60 days, and it strips the landlord's justification for withholding.
In Wyoming, the itemized statement is not a courtesy, it is a legal requirement: Wyo. Stat. § 1-21-1208 obligates the landlord to list every deduction within 60 days of move out.
Skipping it matters: without an itemization, the landlord has no documented justification for keeping your money, and a court has nothing to weigh on their side.
Your move is the same either way: a demand letter that cites the requirement, states that no itemization was received within the 60 days deadline, and demands the full deposit. Send it certified. A landlord who ignored the paperwork rarely wants to explain that to a judge in Circuit Court — Small Claims.
The Wyoming rules at a glance. Governing statute: Wyo. Stat. § 1-21-1208. Return deadline: 30 days (60 days with deductions claimed). Court for disputes: Circuit Court — Small Claims, claims up to $6,000.
