How to use this Eviction Notice in Utah
Serve the notice exactly as Utah law allows and count the days correctly — the deadline is the first thing a judge checks. Do not include late fees in a pay-or-quit amount unless your state permits it. If the tenant pays the full amount in time, the notice is satisfied.
Keep a copy of the notice and the signed proof of service; you will attach both to the court complaint if the tenant does not comply.
