Summary

The legislation updates Utah's landlord‑tenant code to give renters a clear process for notifying landlords of deficient conditions and to allow renters to repair or deduct costs when landlords fail to act. It also expands the definition of unlawful detainer to include tenant‑controlled animals that cause damage and lease violations labeled as incurable. The changes aim to balance tenant protections with clear landlord responsibilities.
