Frequently Asked Questions: Utah Landlord Security Deposit & Deduction Calculator

What is the maximum security deposit a landlord can charge in Utah?

In Utah (UT), the standard residential security deposit benchmark cap is 2 month(s) of rent (some municipalities or unfurnished/furnished units may have specific rules; always verify local county/city ordinances).

How many days does a landlord in Utah have to return a security deposit?

Landlords in Utah have a strict 30-day statutory window after lease termination and key surrender to return the security deposit and/or mail a written itemized statement of deductions.

How do you calculate prorated carpet or paint depreciation for security deposit deductions?

Courts disallow charging a tenant 100% of replacement cost for an aged item. Multiply the replacement cost by ((Useful Life − Current Age) ÷ Useful Life). For example, if 5-year-useful-life carpet is damaged beyond repair at year 3 on a $1,000 replacement, the maximum chargeable deduction is 40% ($400).
