The Utah Fit Premises Act requires owners to keep rentals fit for human habitation, with working electrical, heating, plumbing, and hot and cold water (Utah Code 57-22-3, 57-22-4). After written notice and a 3-day corrective period, a renter may use rent-abatement or repair-and-deduct remedies (57-22-6).
Utah Code 57-22-3(1) requires each owner to 'maintain that unit in a condition fit for human habitation,' and that '[e]ach residential rental unit shall have electrical systems, heating, plumbing, and hot and cold water.' Section 57-22-4 adds that an owner 'may not rent the premises unless they are safe, sanitary, and fit for human occupancy' and must maintain common areas, plumbing, heating, hot/cold water, and any air conditioning. Under 57-22-6, a renter who gives written notice of a deficient condition and waits out the corrective period (three calendar days for habitability, 10 days for a lease term) may choose rent abatement or repair-and-deduct, the latter capped at two months' rent. A dangerous condition requires repair to begin within 24 hours.
No specific statutory penalty. If the owner fails to act in the corrective period, the renter may abate rent and terminate, or repair and deduct up to two months' rent; courts may award damages plus costs and attorney fees (Utah Code 57-22-6).
