Frequently asked questions
How long does a Wyoming landlord have to return the deposit?
30 days after you move out, as of 2026 (source: Wyo. Stat. §1-21-1208). Counted in calendar days; check the statute for whether the clock starts at move-out, lease end, or receipt of your forwarding address, and whether a weekend deadline rolls over. Use the deposit return calculator to get the exact date.
Is there a limit on how much deposit a Wyoming landlord can charge?
Wyoming sets no statutory cap on the security deposit (as of 2026; source: Wyo. Stat. §1-21-1208), so the amount is whatever the lease says. The return deadline still applies to the full amount.
How much can I sue for in Wyoming if the landlord ignores this?
$6,000 exclusive of costs (Wyo. Stat. § 1-21-201). Small claims is a simplified docket within Circuit Court, which separately hears ordinary civil actions up to $50,000 — so claims over $6,000 can still stay in Circuit Court under regular procedure. The Department of Revenue may consolidate tax-collection claims against a single taxpayer subject to the same dollar limit. The court is the Circuit Court (small claims docket), and the filing fee is $10 flat filing fee for small claims under Wyo. Stat. § 5-9-135 (regular circuit court civil filings pay $70: $20 filing + $40 automation + $10 indigent legal services; small claims are expressly exempted).. As of 2026; source: Wyo. Stat. § 1-21-201.
Do I need a lawyer in Wyoming small claims?
Attorneys are Yes — allowed; if one side appears with an attorney, the opposing party is entitled to a continuance to obtain their own counsel (Wyo. Stat. § 1-21-202(b)).. Source: Wyo. Stat. § 1-21-201 (as of 2026).
