Self-help notice overview

Using a Utah notice to vacate or notice to quit

A written notice to vacate or notice to quit helps document the landlord, tenant, rental property, reason for the notice, date served, response deadline, and the action required before the tenancy can be ended or the next landlord-tenant step can begin.

State law, lease terms, local rules, and the reason for notice can affect timing, wording, service method, cure rights, and what happens after the notice period expires. Review the state-specific page information and the completed notice carefully before serving it.

A notice is not a completed eviction judgment. If the tenant does not comply after proper notice, a landlord may still need to follow the state court process and any local filing or service requirements before possession can change.

Step-by-Step Guide for Serving a 3-Day Notice to Pay Rent or Vacate in Utah

Step 1: Read the lease.
Before providing the tenant with a notice to pay rent or vacate, the landlord must check the tenant's lease agreement to see if it requires a longer period of time or a different process for the tenant to pay past-due rent than the minimum three (3) days required by Utah law. If the lease requires a longer wait period or different terms before the landlord can start the eviction process, the notice to the tenant must reflect that number of days or follow that different procedure.
Step 2: Confirm the default.
The landlord must first verify that the tenant has, in fact, defaulted on rent, which is defined as the tenant's failure to pay the rent on the due date specified in the lease.
Step 3: Prepare the written notice.
Once the landlord has verified the tenant's default, the landlord should draft or obtain a written notice form that requires the tenant to pay the overdue rent, late fees, and other amounts due or vacate the premises. The notice must specify: (1) the amount of rent due, (2) the date it was due, and (3) any late fees or other charges that may have been incurred as a result of the tenant's failure to pay the rent when due.
Step 4: Serve the notice.
The written notice must be served on the tenant in person or by mail. If the landlord serves the tenant in person, the landlord or agent must physically hand the notice to the tenant or securely affix it to a prominent place on the property, such as the front door to the unit. If the notice is sent by mail, the landlord must send it by certified mail, return receipt requested.
Step 5: Wait the required time.
The tenant has three (3) days after receipt of service either to pay the rent, late fees, and other amounts due or to vacate the property.
Step 6: File an action to evict.
If the tenant fails to cure the default after receiving the notice, the landlord may undertake legal action to evict the tenant. This process may involve filing a complaint in court, serving the tenant with a summons and complaint, and attending a court hearing.
Step 7: Attend the court hearing.
The court will schedule a hearing to hear the evidence regarding the eviction complaint and allow the tenant to contest the eviction. The landlord must attend the hearing and show that the nonpayment of rent and the notice to quit were properly served on the tenant. If the court issues a ruling favoring the landlord, the court will issue a judgment for eviction.
