AI Utah Lease Renewal / Rent Increase Notice

Provide current lease terms, proposed renewal or rent change, effective date, parties, and property, and receive complete Utah lease renewal or rent increase notices with customary timing (30 days recommended for most changes), explicit statement that Utah has no statewide rent control or caps, current vs. new terms, acceptance instructions, service guidance, and proof-of-service section. Written acceptance by tenant is recommended to form a binding renewal., -

Utah Lease Renewal and Rent Change Overview

Utah has no mandatory statutory renewal notice period and no statewide rent control, rent caps, or just-cause eviction requirements for most residential tenancies. Landlords customarily provide at least 30 days' written notice before the expiration of a fixed-term lease or before implementing a rent increase or other material change on a month-to-month tenancy.

For month-to-month (periodic) tenancies, Utah Code § 78B-6-802(1)(b)(i) requires 15 calendar days' written notice before the end of a rental period to terminate or to alter material terms (including rent). Best practice is to provide 30 days' notice to give the tenant reasonable time to respond or relocate.

A renewal or rent increase notice should:

• Clearly identify current terms and proposed new terms.
• State the effective date (at least 15 days after service for MTM term changes; 30 days is customary).
• Provide instructions for acceptance.
• Include service and proof-of-service documentation.

Written acceptance (signed renewal lease or written election) is strongly recommended to avoid disputes about whether a new agreement was formed., -

NOTICE TYPE SELECTION

Select the form that matches the current tenancy and proposed action.

> Utah Law Note: There is no 5% + CPI cap or 90-day rule for larger increases. No AB 1482-style just-cause or rent-cap overlay applies statewide. Check for any city or county ordinances (rare for rent control in Utah)., -

Pre-Notice Checklist and Best Practices

1. Review the existing lease for any specific renewal notice requirements or mid-term increase clauses.

2. Confirm whether tenancy is fixed-term or month-to-month.

3. Calculate the effective date to provide at least 15 calendar days (30 days recommended) before the change or end of period.

4. Itemize current vs. new rent and any other changed terms clearly.

5. Include instructions and a response section for tenant acceptance.

6. Retain a copy of the notice and proof of service.

7. For rent increases, ensure any late fee or other rule changes are also noticed if applicable (15-day notice for new charges on MTM per § 57-22-4).

8. Consider offering a new written lease for signature upon acceptance to avoid ambiguity., -
