Q. What is the Utah code for renters/landlord on rights to terminate a month-to-month lease and time to vacate in utah?

July 19, 2022

A: That is a lot of questions. Most attorneys will do a free consultation in their first appointment. I no longer accept clients on this type of law, but here is a great resource: do a google search for "Utahlegalservices" They help people that can't afford an attorney, and the website will tell you a great deal about your rights as a tenant in Utah. If you are on a month to month tenancy, your landlord would have to give you notice by the 15th of July to ask you to leave by the 1st of August. If your landlord misses the 15th, he must wait for you to leave on 1st of September. This only works if you continue to pay rent. If you miss a payment, then he can evict you for failure to pay rent. You can call the police when you are getting harassed as well.

Q. I solely own bare property in Kane co.UT, if i transfer it to my spouse can a utility company come after him/property?

July 18, 2022

A: From your description, I see at least two issues: 1) how to get the water company to stop grouping both of your properties in your name in the same box for charges for water services, and 2) avoiding a lawsuit attempting to attach and sell the property to pay a claimed debt. Regarding the first issue: This will depend largely on how the company operates and manages things. Changing names might help, but most debts like the one they claim will remain on the property no matter who owns it, and the new owner will be on the hook to pay the debt. Regarding the second issue: Transfers of assets to avoid payment of something (if a court determines that you owe the money) will not avoid payment. The court can look at the dates the debt was owed, and then see that you made a transfer. The court can actually reverse the transfer to allow the creditor to collect the debt. If you ever make a transfer prior to anyone making a claim that you owe money, and prior to any incident that would trigger a lawsuit, then that transfer will not normally be reversed.

Q. In Utah, does a deed have to be recorded in order to be effective?

July 18, 2022

A: When you pay money for a piece of property, then you do have a claim against the person that sold you the property. But, the intended effect of a deed is to transfer ownership on official records. Until the deed is recorded, the transfer has not occurred in the eyes of the county and the state. Quit Claim Deeds only give away what you currently own. I could give you a Quit Claim Deed for the Brooklyn Bridge, but you would get nothing, even when you recorded the deed, because I didn't own anything in the first place. A Warranty deed promises that I own the property I am deeding you. If someone signs two Quit Claim Deeds to different people for the same piece of property, the first one to record will own the property. The second will get nothing.
