Utah does cap residential late fees. Under the Fit Premises Act, an owner may not charge a late fee exceeding the greater of 10% of the rent or $75 (Utah Code 57-22-4(5)(a)). Any fee must be stated in the rental agreement, and new charges on month-to-month leases need 15-day notice.
Utah Code 57-22-4(5)(a) provides that an owner 'may not charge a renter ... a late fee that exceeds the greater of: (i) 10% of the rent agreed to in the rental agreement; or (ii) $75.' Subsection (5)(b) bars charging any fee, fine, interest, or cost greater than the amount agreed, or one not in the agreement, unless the lease is month-to-month and the owner gives the renter 15-day notice of the charge. Nothing prohibits a fee allowed by law or stated in the rental agreement (57-22-4(8)). A renter cannot use an owner's violation of these fee rules to excuse lease compliance or to sue (57-22-4(9)), but the charge itself remains capped.
No specific statutory penalty. A late fee above the greater of 10% of rent or $75 is not chargeable; the cap simply limits what the owner may lawfully collect under Utah Code 57-22-4(5).
