Utah month-to-month lease agreement
Written for Utah law, checked September 24, 2026 General information, not legal advice
A month-to-month tenancy renews each month until the landlord or the tenant gives notice. Choose month-to-month as the lease type, or set a fixed-term lease to convert to month-to-month when its term ends.

Ending a month-to-month tenancy
To end a tenancy with monthly or other periodic rent, serve notice at least 15 calendar days before the end of the month or period, requiring the tenant to leave at the end of it. A tenancy at will needs notice of at least five calendar days. A fixed term ends when the term expires without any notice.

- Serve the notice by one of the methods the eviction statutes allow. Utah Code § 78B-6-805
The lease states the 15 calendar day notice before the end of a monthly period and that a fixed term ends without notice.
Rent increase notice
Partly readThe Utah statutes read for this page set no notice period for a rent increase and no limit on its size. During a fixed term, the rent is what the lease says. A month-to-month tenancy can be ended on notice served at least 15 calendar days before the end of a rental period, and cities and counties may not adopt rent control.

- You may end a month-to-month tenancy by serving notice at least 15 calendar days before the period ends. Utah Code § 78B-6-802(1)(b)(i) See Ending a month-to-month tenancy on the Utah page

- For a clear rent-change letter, first check the lease term, any agreed notice requirement and any housing-program rules. Identify the property, unit and tenants; show the current rent, proposed rent, dollar difference and proposed effective date. Explain any renewal offer and how to reply. Keep a dated copy, delivery record and any later agreement before updating the rent ledger. This is a practical record checklist, not a prescribed legal form; the separate 15-day rules above do not establish a blanket rent-increase notice period.
