Mobile home park fees in Wyoming

Wyoming has no dedicated mobile home park fee law. The Residential Rental Property Act sets the security-deposit rules, and the written lease controls the rest. The information below describes how the law generally works; anyone disputing a specific charge should consider consulting a licensed attorney in Wyoming.

What the statute says

Under Wyo. Stat. §1-21-1208(a), upon termination a deposit may be applied to "accrued rent, damages to the residential rental unit beyond reasonable wear and tear, the cost to clean the unit ..., and to other costs provided by any contract," and "the balance of any deposit ... and a written itemization of any deductions ... shall be delivered or mailed without interest to the renter within thirty (30) days after termination of the rental agreement or within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the renter's new mailing address, whichever is later" — extended by 30 days if there is damage. Any nonrefundable portion must be disclosed under §1-21-1207: "any rental agreement shall state whether any portion of a deposit is nonrefundable and written notice of this fact shall also be provided to the renter at the time the deposit is taken." Wyoming sets no statutory dollar cap on the deposit, and there is no dedicated mobile-home-park statute banning entrance, exit, or transfer fees.

How it works in general

In Wyoming, the clear statutory fee protections concern the deposit: any nonrefundable portion has to be disclosed up front and in the lease, and after the tenancy ends the landlord has to return the balance — with a written, itemized statement of any deductions — within 30 days (or 15 days after the renter gives a new address, whichever is later, plus 30 more days if there's damage). Wyoming doesn't cap the deposit and doesn't ban entrance, exit, or transfer fees in parks, so those charges come down to the written lease and general law. Reading the lease for every charge before signing is the key step.

Common scenarios

General examples Wyoming park residents commonly encounter:

• A deposit isn't returned. The balance and an itemized statement are due within 30 days (§1-21-1208(a)).
• A park calls part of the deposit nonrefundable. It must be disclosed in the lease and in writing when taken (§1-21-1207).
• A park charges an entrance or transfer fee. No statute bans it — the lease controls.

Other authorities that may apply

The Residential Rental Property Act (Wyo. Stat. §§1-21-1207, 1-21-1208) governs the security deposit; the written lease governs other charges. Because Wyoming has no dedicated park act, this guide flags the absence of fee limits honestly. Federal law can apply in particular situations.
