Your consumer rights in Wyoming
What Wyoming and federal law say about getting a security deposit back, refunds and cancelling subscriptions, with the law cited and a sample letter for each.
Security deposits
30 days to return the deposit in full, or 60 days to send an itemized claim. Under Wyoming Statutes § 1-21-1208(a), a landlord must return the balance of the deposit together with a written itemization of any deductions and the reasons for them within 60 days. The clock starts when you move out and hand back possession of the unit. If your landlord got your new address late, the deadline is 15 days after they received it, if that is later.
Refunds
If a company won't refund you, send a written demand with a clear deadline. If you paid by credit card, you may also be able to dispute the charge: Under the Fair Credit Billing Act, a billing-error dispute must reach the card issuer in writing within 60 days after the first statement showing the charge.
Subscriptions
Wyoming has no automatic-renewal statute. For subscriptions sold online, the federal Restore Online Shoppers' Confidence Act requires a simple way to stop recurring charges, and Wyoming's general consumer protection law applies.
