Security deposit

Your landlord had 30 days to return your deposit or list the deductions in writing. If they were late or kept it wrongly, they get 30 days counted from the day you move out, and after you serve the notice the law requires, a landlord who still does not pay can owe the full deposit plus $100.

Return deadline30 days

If the landlord is late or keeps it wronglyAfter the tenant serves the statutory notice, a landlord who still fails to comply is liable for the full deposit and prepaid rent plus a $100 civil penalty; bad faith adds court costs and attorney fees

Utah Code § 57-17-3 · Verified 2026-10-21 · Read the statute
