[Browse the store](/toolkits) Who it is for Landlords and property managers with rentals in Utah, and tenants who want the same record, from move-in through move-out or a court case. Not the right fit if Your rental is outside Utah: get that state's kit. Not legal advice, not a lawyer's review of a lease, notice or court case, and not a set of legal notice forms; city and county rules aren't covered. Why it is different - Built only from our Utah data files, checked November 2026 against 8 official pages, among them Utah Legislature: Utah Code 57-17-3 (effective 5/7/2025); Utah Legislature: Utah Code Title 78B, Chapter 6, Part 8 (Forcible entry and detainer), as amended 2026; Utah Legislature: Utah Code Title 57, Chapter 22 (Utah Fit Premises Act), current; Utah Courts: Eviction Information for Tenants; Utah Courts: Order of Restitution, form 1200EVJ (rev. April 14, 2025); Utah Code Title 78A Chapter 8 Small Claims Courts, plus National Coalition for a Civil Right to Counsel (a vetted secondary source, marked in the kit) where no official page could be read. - 5 items the official pages didn't state are left out of the rules and put on a short look-up list with the page to check, never guessed. - The workbook recalculates with zero formula errors and works out Utah notice and deposit dates for you. What is inside - **Start here.** How to use the kit, the 18 confirmed Utah rules at a glance and a short look-up list of 5 points to check: penalty the law states, filing fee, hearing after filing, judgment to writ, diversion or mediation (statewide), each with the official page. - **Utah landlord rules checklist.** Deposits, notice periods, the eviction case and the small claims limit, each confirmed rule with its source link and check date. What it confirms: deposit limit: No maximum in 57-17-3; return deadline: No later than 30 days after the renter vacates and returns possession: the balance with a written itemization (57-17-3(2)); itemized list of deductions: A written notice that itemizes and explains the reason for each deduction (57-17-3(2)(c)); interest on the deposit: None stated in Utah Code 57-17-3; where the deposit is held: None stated in 57-17-3; ending month-to-month (landlord): For a tenant for an indefinite time, notice served 15 calendar days or more before the end of the month or period; ending month-to-month (tenant): No tenant notice period in Utah Code Title 57, Chapter 22 or Title 78B, Chapter 6, Part 8 as read; rent increase notice: No rent increase notice rule in Utah Code Title 57, Chapter 22 or Title 78B, Chapter 6, Part 8 as read; unpaid rent notice: Three business days after service of a notice to pay or vacate; entry notice: At least 24 hours' prior notice of the owner's entry, unless the rental agreement provides otherwise; late fee limits: A late fee can't be more than the greater of 10% of the rent agreed to in the rental agreement or $75; court: The court's eviction forms are for the district court of the county; time to answer or appear: Three business days to respond after receiving the court papers; writ to lockout: After the Order of Restitution is served, the tenant usually has 3 days to move; who carries out the lockout: The Order of Restitution tells a sheriff or constable to remove the tenant; paying to stop the case: In a case based only on unpaid rent, the complaint is dismissed if the tenant pays what is owed within three calendar days of being served notice of the landlord's possession bond. - **Move-in and move-out deposit checklist.** A room-by-room condition checklist for both visits and the steps after move-out, with Utah's return deadline (within 30 days). - **Notice calendar.** When each notice must go out: the lead time for every notice the state's text confirms, with a 2027 month-by-month serve-by table worked out with our notice date calculator's rules. - **Eviction timeline sheet.** The Utah case in order from notice to lockout, with each confirmed stage, an example dated from a sample filing day where the rules give periods, and blanks for your own case dates. - **Utah landlord workbook (Excel).** A tenant notice log that dates each notice from the Utah rules, a deposit tracker that works out the return date for each move-out, and a rent ledger with a running balance.
