Logan, UT Rental Inspections: Tenant Complaint Process (2026)

The chapter is known as the Logan City Fit Premises ordinance under section 15.25.010. Section 15.25.030 requires the owner to disclose in writing, at or before the start of the tenancy, the name, address and telephone number of the owner or manager and of a local person authorized to receive notices if the owner or manager resides outside Cache County. A landlord who fails to disclose becomes an agent for receiving notices. Section 15.25.060(G) requires the tenant to promptly inform the owner or agent of defective conditions.

Section 15.25.110 starts the clock on appropriate written notice. The owner must begin repairs within twenty four (24) hours for an inoperable toilet, nonfunctioning heating during a period where heat is reasonably necessary, a nonfunctioning electrical system, a broken stair or balustrade, and a smoke detector required by code. Forty eight (48) hours applies to drains, missing hot or cold water, a refrigerator, range or stove, and a broken exterior door or lock. Seventy two (72) hours applies to an inoperable electric fixture and to other leaking water pipes, and ninety six (96) hours to a broken window or inoperable exterior lighting. The tenant must grant reasonable access.

Section 15.25.120 lets a tenant who is current on rent repair and deduct once the deadline passes. Critical repairs can proceed when the notice period expires. Noncritical repairs need a second written notice, delivered personally or sent by both certified and regular mail, and the owner then has forty eight (48) hours, excluding holidays and weekends, to begin. Deductions are capped at $400.00 per repair and per month. Under section 15.25.080 the owner must give twenty four (24) hours' notice before entry and enter only between 8:00 A.M. and 8:00 P.M., absent an emergency.

Section 5.17.100 says only that inspections of rental dwellings can be conducted as allowed by state law.
