Return clock
30 days after the tenancy ends
Wyoming does not cap how large a residential security deposit may be. Unused deposit plus an itemized list is generally due within 30 days after the tenancy ends, or within 15 days after the landlord receives the tenant’s forwarding address, whichever is later (Wyo. Stat. Ann. § 1-21-1208).
A month-to-month tenancy generally takes notice at least equal to the rental period (Wyo. Stat. Ann. § 1-21-1203).
Wyoming does not prescribe a statewide 24-hour entry statute. Put a reasonable-notice entry clause in the lease. Emergency entry is customary.
A Wyoming rent increase should be in writing. Many landlords use at least the same notice they would use to end a month-to-month tenancy. A month-to-month tenancy generally takes notice at least equal to the rental period (Wyo. Stat. Ann. § 1-21-1203). The lease may require more. Local rent-control rules can cap the amount even when the notice period is met.
