Hello Riley, nice to meet you. How may I assist you with your legal issue today?
short eviction notice
In Utah, the minimum eviction notice period is generally three days. However, this can vary based on the reason for eviction. Could you provide more details about the eviction notice you received?
we are getting evicted for and i quote "water/damage to property, water leak/ failure to report water resulting in mold contamination. resulting in damage to property. the mold was in a place we could not see (our storage unit we havent opened in years, and the water leakage we thought was due to our garbage disposal not working, which we did report last month (no one came to fix it). so we did report the leak on inspection day, which is the same day we recieved a 3 day vacate notice.
In Utah, landlords can issue a *-day notice to quit in case of property damage. However:
- The fact that you reported the water leakage could be in your favor.
- If the mold was in an unreachable area, you might not be held responsible.
Please consult a local attorney for personalized advice.
