UT HB0478

Landlords must provide 60 days' notice before a rent increase takes effect, except for month-to-month tenants or when the increase responds to maximum rent changes in low-income tax credit communities or Section 8 housing

The 60-day notice requirement does not prevent landlords from increasing other costs, fees, assessments, or fines allowed under the rental agreement, including automatic increases specified in the lease

Adds a definition for "low-income housing tax credit" by reference to Section 59-2-102 of the Utah Code

Renters cannot use a landlord's failure to comply with the new rent increase notice requirement as a basis to excuse their own lease obligations or to sue the landlord
