Wyoming's residential rental statute sets one standard twice: the renter cleans the unit back to its condition at the beginning of the rental agreement, and the deposit can pay the cost of that cleaning, along with rent and damage beyond reasonable wear and tear. Here is each rule with a link to the Wyoming Statutes, and how walkthrough notes become the reports behind it.

Clean back to the beginning

Before the rental agreement ends, the renter removes everything they or their guests brought in and cleans the unit to its condition at the beginning of the agreement. During the tenancy the renter keeps the unit clean and safe, keeps plumbing fixtures sanitary, uses appliances reasonably and does not damage the unit or let others do so.

The deposit may then cover accrued rent, damage beyond reasonable wear and tear, the cost of cleaning the unit to its starting condition, and other costs in the contract. The starting condition has to be on record for any of that to be measured, which is what a dated move-in report is for.

30 days, or later

The balance of the deposit and a written itemization of deductions with the reasons go to the renter within 30 days after the agreement ends or 15 days after the owner receives the renter's new mailing address, whichever is later. If the unit is damaged, the period is 30 days longer. The renter tells the owner within 30 days where to send payment and notice.

An owner who unreasonably fails to comply can be made to return the full deposit plus court costs. A renter whose damage exceeds the deposit stays liable for the rest, with interest at 10 percent a year.

At move-in, and during the tenancy

The rental agreement states whether any part of the deposit is nonrefundable, and the renter is told so in writing when the deposit is taken. The owner rents only a unit that is reasonably safe, sanitary and fit to live in, but need not correct a condition the renter, their family or guests caused by misuse.

The renter may not unreasonably refuse the owner, agent or manager entry to make repairs, inspect the unit, or show it for rent or sale. The statute sets no fixed notice period.

Things left behind

Once the agreement ends, trash and property the owner reasonably believes hazardous, perishable or valueless and abandoned can go right away, and anything left is presumed valueless and abandoned. Valuable property is disposed of only after a written notice describing it and a 7-day wait, and the renter pays storage and removal costs before taking it back. A move-out report that lists what was left, room by room, is the description that notice needs.

From walkthrough notes to a finished Wyoming report

At move-in, note each room's condition and how clean it is. At move-out, walk the same rooms. ReportDraft writes each up room by room, lists cleaning needed to reach the starting condition apart from repairs, keeps reasonable wear and tear out of the damage, records anything left behind, and leaves lines for the owner and the renter to sign.

Common mistakes

  • Deducting cleaning without a record of how clean the unit was at the start.
  • Charging for reasonable wear and tear.
  • Sending a total without the reasons for each deduction.
  • Not stating in the rental agreement and in writing at the time whether part of the deposit is nonrefundable.
  • Disposing of valuable property left behind without the written notice and the 7-day wait.
