Your Right As A Utah Tenant For Full Security Deposit Return

In Utah, your landlord must return the security deposit after the end of your tenancy period. The security deposit must be returned to the tenant's new address within 30 days after the tenant moves out of the rental property. Landlords are required to send an itemized list of costs to be deducted within the same period. Landlords in Utah can use the security deposit to only cover unpaid rent, damages that exceed usual wear and tear, cleaning costs of the rental unit and costs incurred due to breach of agreement such as unpaid utility bills. The laws also require the landlords to disclose to tenants in writing the instances when security deposits are non-refundable.

The Utah landlord-tenant laws does not require a tenant to send a request letter to get back their security deposit, but documenting your request and expressing your concerns in a request letter is a smart way of resolving the dispute. Although the matter can be resolved in a small claims court, you can expedite the process with a simple and professional letter. This HomeTitan's Request For Deposit Return Letter is designed to professionally address your concerns over the unpaid security deposit while also reminding the landlord of their legally binding lease agreement with you. In most instances, our letters are usually all it takes to get the landlord to repay the full security deposit. Send the letter through certified mail to get a return receipt and keep your own copy.

As long as you left the rental apartment having paid all your bills, with only normal wear and tear, the landlord has an obligation of observing the regulations under Utah state laws by paying your full security deposit within the statutory time.
