A Utah month-to-month rental agreement is a legally binding document that lets a landlord rent their property to a tenant from month to month. It outlines the effective date, monthly rent amount, deposits, fees, and rules for the tenant to follow. A month-to-month lease renews itself until either party terminates the agreement by issuing 15 days’ notice.
Legal Requirements for Month-to-Month Leases
- Minimum Termination Period: Under Utah state law, a landlord must provide at least 15 days’ notice before they end a month-to-month lease. [1] Utah doesn’t specify a minimum notice period for tenants to terminate a lease, but it’s customary for them to still provide at least 15 days.
- Rent Increase: There’s no statutory requirement, so it’s standard to issue a 15-day warning before imposing a rent increase.
Required Disclosures
- Provision of a move-in checklist
- Identification of the property owner or manager
- Disclosure of methamphetamine-contaminated property
- Disclosure of lead-based paint

Utah Month-to-Month Eviction
If a tenant is in good standing with the landlord on a month-to-month lease, the landlord must issue 15 days’ notice. If the tenant doesn’t move out within 15 days, the landlord can proceed with filing an eviction suit.
The Utah Eviction Process details the steps for evicting a tenant.
