Rental Amendments

HB 182 requires landlords in Utah to provide tenants with 60 days' written notice before increasing rent, unless the lease is month-to-month, the increase relates to low-income housing programs, or the tenant agrees in writing to a shorter notice period. It also mandates landlords to disclose upfront details about rent amounts, fees, and eligibility criteria before a tenant signs a rental agreement or pays an application fee. These changes directly affect landlords (including property managers acting as agents) and tenants in all residential rental properties across Utah. The bill clarifies definitions, strengthens disclosure requirements, and sets limits on late fees and unexpected charges, aiming to increase transparency in rental agreements.
