Wyoming Security Deposit Evidence Checklist

The best Wyoming deposit dispute record is simple and organized. You want to prove what happened, when it happened, where notice should have been mailed, what was withheld, and why the withholding is not supported.

Address and timing proof

Keep proof of:

• the date the rental agreement terminated
• the date you returned possession, keys, and access
• the new mailing address you gave the landlord
• how and when you gave that address
• any mailing receipts, certified-mail records, screenshots, emails, texts, or portal messages

Money proof

Keep:

• the lease
• deposit payment receipts
• prepaid rent proof, if any
• rent payment records
• refund records
• any statement showing what the landlord says is still owed

Condition proof

Keep:

• move-in photos and videos
• move-out photos and videos
• condition checklists
• repair requests
• messages about existing issues
• cleaning receipts
• repair receipts

Deduction proof

If the landlord keeps money, save:

• the written itemization
• the stated reasons for deductions
• receipts, invoices, estimates, or contractor records
• messages about damage, cleaning, or unpaid rent
• the lease provisions the landlord relies on for contract costs

Utility-deposit proof

If a separate utilities deposit is involved, keep final utility bills, payment confirmations, notices from utility providers, and any landlord accounting. Wyoming has a separate utility-deposit timing rule.
