Wyoming Landlord-Tenant Laws

Wyoming sets no statutory cap on security deposits and requires return within 30 days of move-out (or 15 days if no deductions are taken). There is no statewide landlord entry-notice statute, and while no statute fixes a month-to-month termination period, 30 days' written notice is the customary standard.

Informational summary, not legal advice. Landlord-tenant law changes and local ordinances may add requirements. Verify the current statute (Wyo. Stat. 1-21-1201 to 1-21-1211 (Residential Rental Property Act; deposits at 1-21-1208)) or consult a licensed Wyoming attorney before acting. All rentals must also comply with the federal Fair Housing Act — you may not select tenants or write listings based on a protected class.
