What if my landlord in Wyoming misses the deadline?
Ask for your deposit in writing, mention the law (Wyo. Stat. § 1-21-1208), and keep a copy. In many states a landlord who misses the deadline loses the right to keep any of it, and some owe a penalty on top. Wyoming’s law says what applies there; a local legal aid office can help if you’re stuck.
