Utah Notice to Vacate

Utah notice periods

Each period is the one LeaseCraft's record of the statute holds. Read it with the conditions under it: some periods are minimums and some apply unless the lease sets another. "Lease controls" means the record holds no statutory period for that situation, and "No pre-suit notice" means it holds no notice before filing. The source column shows the law and the date LeaseCraft read it on the official site (most recently 2026-09-27).

What the Utah statute says

Ending a month-to-month tenancy: 15 calendar days

• Periodic (month-to-month or other period) tenancy: landlord must serve notice requiring the tenant to quit 15 calendar days or more before the end of the month or period (78B-6-802(1)(b)(i)).
• Tenancy at will: notice of not less than five calendar days (78B-6-802(1)(b)(ii)).

Ending a week-to-week tenancy: 15 calendar days

• 78B-6-802(1)(b)(i) applies to any 'month or period' tenancy — the same 15-calendar-day pre-period-end notice; no shorter week-to-week period stated.

Tenant staying after the lease ends: No pre-suit notice

• Fixed term: a tenant who continues in possession after expiration of the specified term is in unlawful detainer without notice (78B-6-802(1)(a)); tenancy at will requires not less than five calendar days' notice (1)(b)(ii).

Delivery, form and other Utah rules

Statewide just-cause rule

No statewide just-cause requirement

• No just-cause requirement; a periodic tenancy ends on 15 calendar days' notice before the end of the period (78B-6-802(1)(b)(i)) and a fixed term ends without notice (78B-6-802(1)(a)).

Preparing the notice

The form asks for the tenancy, the date the tenant must leave and how the notice is delivered, and states the notice period plainly. You enter the period; where LeaseCraft has verified the Utah period for ending a month-to-month tenancy, it refuses a shorter one.

Create a Utah notice to vacate

A notice is not a court order and does not by itself remove a tenant. Cities and counties can add rules. LeaseCraft is not a law firm and this is not legal advice.
