Utah does not enforce rent control or limit fees, and landlords can evict problem tenants fairly quickly. There are, however, a few business practices that landlords must abide by, which may not be present in other states. Overall, however, Utah is a very landlord-friendly state.
If you're on a month-to-month lease, you usually must give one month's notice before you can stop paying rent. Unless the lease says otherwise, the notice can provide for termination on any day of the month, if the date of termination is at least one month from the date of the notice.
Introduction. A lease refers to a contract where one party grants a right to use a property or land to another party in return for consideration and for a specific period of time. Both the parties enter into a lease agreement specifying the terms and conditions of the agreement.
For example, a tenant and landlord may agree to a five-year lease with a five-year option to renew. At the end of the first five years, the tenant is given the chance to continue the lease for another five years. If you think you may renew, be sure to bring up extension provisions with your landlord.
An option clause is a term in a commercial lease that allows a tenant to renew their lease at the end of the original lease period, if they meet certain conditions. Landlords are not obliged to offer a renewal option.
If a tenant intends to stay on in the premises, failing to exercise the option to renew can be catastrophic. If the procedure for exercising the option is not followed properly, then the landlord is under no obligation to grant the new lease. This means that the landlord does not have to grant a further term.
Generally 48 months is the ``sweet spot'' for leasing, but if you want a newer car - sooner - then go for the 36 month lease instead.
