Utah eviction at a glance
| Court | District court (or justice court) in the county |
|---|
Utah evictions are heard in the district court (or justice court) in the county. Before filing for unpaid rent, the landlord must give the notice required by Utah Code §78B-6-802.
Step by step
- Notice for unpaid rent. A 3-business-day notice to pay or quit, served once rent is due. (Utah Code §78B-6-802)
- File in court. If the tenant doesn't pay or move out, file the eviction case in the district court (or justice court) in the county. Ask the clerk for current filing and service fees. (Utah State Courts)
- Hearing, judgment and removal. After the tenant is served, the court sets a hearing. If the landlord wins, removal happens only through the court's order or writ, carried out by a law enforcement officer. Exact timelines are in the court's self-help materials. (Utah State Courts)
