The law in plain English
Return deadline
Under Wyo. Stat. Sections 1-21-1207, 1-21-1208, the deposit response usually has to be sent within 30 days of the move-out timeline described by the state rule.
Required notice
Wyoming generally does not impose a statewide deposit cap, and the landlord usually has 30 days after termination or 15 days after receiving the forwarding address, whichever is later, with an extra 30 days available if damage is claimed.
This dispute type
In Wyoming, renters usually challenge deposit deductions for scuffs, faded paint, flattened carpet, and similar aging because those issues look more like ordinary use than repairable damage. The statute still controls when the refund had to be sent and how deductions had to be explained.
Penalty leverage
If the withholding was wrongful or in bad faith, the exposure allowed under the statute is: Landlord forfeits the right to retain any portion; you may also recover court costs
