Fill in the eviction notice template Utah landlords serve
The notice a landlord serves before filing for unpaid rent.
The month or period the rent was for.
In Utah, the 3-day notice to pay or quit gives the tenant 3 business days, not counting Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays. Saturdays and Sundays are skipped in that count; each holiday inside it moves the end one day later. Paying the full amount inside the period stops the eviction, by statute.
Utah Code § 78B-6-802(1)(c): The notice demands payment of rent and other amounts due or surrender of the premises, and may be served any time after rent is due. Utah counts this period in business days.
Every field is optional; a blank one prints as a line to write on. The notice is in English, as it is served in the US.

What goes in a {abbr} eviction notice template?
The name Utah law gives it (3-day notice to pay or quit), the tenants and the premises, the rent owed or the breach, the days the tenant has and how they are counted, the statute, your signature and a proof of service. The generator above puts each of them in.

Yes. Choose PDF or Word above; the 3 days, the way they are counted and Utah Code § 78B-6-802(1)(c) are already in it.
Can the tenant stop the eviction by paying?
Yes. Paying the full rent owed within the 3 business days, not counting Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays stops it, by statute (Utah Code § 78B-6-802(1)(c)).
How do I serve an eviction notice in {state}?
Utah statute names these ways (Utah Code § 78B-6-805(1)): personal delivery; registered or certified mail or an equivalent; leaving a copy with a person of suitable age and discretion at the residence or leased property; posting in a conspicuous place on the leased property if no such person is found.
What happens after the notice runs out?
If the tenant is still there, you file a unlawful detainer in the district court. Our guide to the Utah eviction process walks through each step.

Not legal adviceThis notice is filled in from Utah statutes as read on November 1, 2026. A city or county can add requirements, a lease can give more time, and only a court decides whether a notice was valid. For a contested eviction, speak to a lawyer licensed in Utah.
