“How long does a landlord in Utah have to return a deposit?”
Getting the Deposit Back
No later than 30 days after a renter vacates and returns possession, the landlord, the owner or the owner's agent in the statute's words, mails or delivers to the renter's last known address, or sends electronically by a means the renter provided, the balance of the deposit, the balance of any prepaid rent, and a written notice itemizing and explaining each deduction.

About this guide — education built from the Utah Code as the Legislature publishes it, not a law degree in a webpage. Applying it to a particular situation is the work of a licensed Utah attorney or a legal aid office. Current as of October 2026.
This guide covers common situations in real Utah encounters. Not the whole body of law, not a replacement for a lawyer.
