Utah law currently does not require landlords to give tenants advance notice before increasing rent on a fixed-term lease, though tenants on month-to-month agreements already receive 15 days' notice for new fees. This bill would require landlords to give at least 60 days' written notice before raising rent or adding a new fee for tenants with fixed-term leases, with exceptions for month-to-month renters, increases tied to federal rent limits in low-income tax credit or Section 8 housing, or cases where the tenant agrees in writing to a shorter timeline. The bill clarifies that automatic fee or cost increases already spelled out in a rental agreement are not affected by this notice requirement, and it specifies that a tenant cannot use a landlord's failure to give proper notice as grounds to break the lease or sue the landlord.
