Wyoming (§1-21-1208) runs a layered clock most renters misread, and treats "damage deposits" with a couple of frontier-practical wrinkles.
How much can a landlord charge?
No statutory cap. If any portion is designated non-refundable, the lease must say so in writing — silence means refundable.
The layered clock
The deposit is due back within 30 days of termination, or 15 days after the landlord receives the tenant's new address — whichever is later — with an itemized statement of deductions for unpaid rent, utility charges, and damage beyond ordinary wear and tear. When damage is deducted, the statute allows a further 30 days for the damage accounting specifically. Translation for tenants: hand over the new address in writing immediately, or the clock never starts; translation for landlords: the extension covers damage accounting only, not the base return.
Enforcement
Wrongful withholding is recoverable in circuit court small claims, with costs; Wyoming's remedy centers on getting the money back rather than multipliers — which, as in other low-penalty states, makes the evidence the entire leverage.
Why Wyoming deposit disputes are documentation disputes
No cap, no multiplier, no inspection machinery: a Wyoming deposit case is two people and their proof in front of a circuit judge. The one with the condition record wins.
