Utah (UT) lease form
Quick answer
Utah does not mandate a written lease for tenancies of 12 months or less, but any lease longer than one year must be in writing. A compliant Utah lease must identify the parties and property, state rent and fees, and include a move-in condition checklist. Landlords must also disclose methamphetamine contamination and provide their name and address in writing.
