Utah Notice to Pay Rent or Quit Template

What a Utah notice to pay rent or quit must include under Utah law, and a fill-in draft that follows those rules.

Use the official form if there is one

What Utah law requires

Written notice requiring, in the alternative, payment of the rent and other amounts due or surrender of the premises, which the tenant has 3 business days after service to comply with; it may be served any time after rent is due. Service: personal delivery; registered or certified mail (or equivalent) to the tenant's residence or the leased property; if the tenant is absent, leaving a copy with a person of suitable age and discretion there; or, if no such person is found, posting in a conspicuous place on the property. CARES Act 30-day notice rules apply only to covered properties and only delay the order of restitution.

Source: Utah Code 78B-6-802(1)(c), (5); 78B-6-805

Both sections amended by 2026 ch. 401; text read from the official Part 8 PDF. No statutory wording is prescribed.

Fill-in draft

Replace every [bracketed] item. If your state or city requires specific wording, a specific form, or a translated version, that requirement controls over this draft. Courts dismiss eviction cases over defective notices — if anything is unclear, talk to a lawyer.
