Just cause eviction rules in South Jordan, UT — sometimes called tenant protection or "for cause" eviction ordinances — list the specific legal reasons a landlord can end a tenancy.
Utah does not require just-cause for eviction and uses a streamlined unlawful detainer process under Title 78B Chapter 6 Part 8. Landlords may terminate month-to-month tenancies with 15 days notice for any lawful reason, and three-day notices apply for nonpayment.
Utah Code Title 78B, Chapter 6, Part 8 governs unlawful detainer actions and establishes a uniform statewide eviction procedure. Landlords issue a three-day notice to pay or quit for nonpayment, a three-day notice to comply or vacate for lease violations, and a 15-day notice to terminate at-will or month-to-month tenancies. No just-cause is required for non-renewal of fixed-term leases. Once notice expires, landlords file unlawful detainer with priority court scheduling, and prevailing landlords receive treble damages on rent and attorney fees. Cities cannot impose just-cause requirements that conflict with this state procedure under general home-rule limitations.
Self-help eviction (lockouts, utility shutoff) is prohibited under Utah Code 57-22-4.5 and exposes landlords to actual damages plus statutory penalties.
