Utah room rental agreement
Written for Utah law, checked September 24, 2026 General information, not legal advice
Rentari offers a general room-rental agreement form, but it is not tailored to Utah or every local rule. Review the room, shared spaces, occupancy requirements, and applicable Utah and city rules before using a form. The state table below covers selected deposit and entry rules, not every room-rental requirement.
Utah rules that apply
Security deposit limit
Not set by statuteUtah does not cap the amount of a security deposit. If any part of a deposit is non-refundable and there is a written agreement, say so in writing to the tenant when you take the deposit.
Utah Code ch. 57-17 Utah Code § 57-17-2
More detail (2)
- The deposit rules apply to deposits however they are labeled, so a cleaning or pet deposit is held to the same return rules. Utah Code § 57-17-1
- Whoever holds the owner's interest when the tenancy ends is bound by the deposit rules, so a buyer of the property takes on the return duty. Utah Code § 57-17-4
The Rentari Utah lease states the deposit amount, says no Utah statute caps it, and says any non-refundable part must be stated in writing when the deposit is taken.
Landlord entry
Give the tenant at least 24 hours' notice before entering the unit, unless the rental agreement provides otherwise. The tenant may not unreasonably deny access or withhold consent to entry by you, your agent or manager to make repairs.
Utah Code § 57-22-4(2) Utah Code § 57-22-5(2)(c)
More detail (1)
- A tenant's written notice of a deficient condition must give you permission to enter to fix it. Utah Code § 57-22-6(2)(b)(iv)
The lease promises the entry notice the landlord sets, 24 hours by default, entry only at reasonable times except in an emergency, and states the tenant's duty not to refuse entry for repairs.
