Free Utah Notice to Enter

This Utah Notice to Enter gives a renter clear written notice before the landlord enters the rental unit. Under the 2021 Fit Premises Act, Utah Code Sec. 57-22-4(2), the owner must give at least 24 hours’ prior notice – except as the rental agreement provides, which makes the rule fully overridable by the lease. See our tenant screening laws by state hub and how to screen tenants guide to keep your Utah tenancies documented from the start.

Watch: Utah Notice to Enter explained

▶ Watch overview

Utah is one of the states with a statutory entry-notice rule, but it is a rule with an unusual shape. The Utah Fit Premises Act, amended in 2021, sets the default at Utah Code Sec. 57-22-4(2): the owner must give the renter at least 24 hours’ prior notice before entering the rental unit. This is a real statute, so it is wrong to assume Utah has no entry law at all – but the same subsection is written to yield to the parties’ own agreement, and a separate subsection deliberately limits what happens if the notice is skipped. Those two features, taken together, are what make Utah distinctive.

The second Utah feature is just as important and far less obvious. Utah Code Sec. 57-22-4(9) is a limited-remedy provision: a renter may not use the owner’s failure to give the required notice to excuse the renter’s own compliance with the lease, or as the basis for a cause of action against the owner. In other words, a missed entry notice does not by itself hand the tenant a statutory lawsuit or a free pass on rent. That does not make notice optional – it is still the law and still the professional standard – but it means Utah has no dedicated statutory remedy for an entry-notice violation, and a tenant who wants recourse for an abusive entry has to look to the lease and to the common law instead. The subsection also does not spell out an emergency carve-out; a genuine emergency that threatens life or property is handled under general law and the lease, not a stated exception in the statute. For every routine entry, this form gives the renter clear written 24-hour notice and leaves you a dated record that you provided it. The sections that follow walk through the purposes that justify entry, the timing that keeps an entry reasonable, how the lease-override works in practice, how an emergency is handled, what the no-cause-of-action rule really means, and – kept carefully separate – the entirely different track that governs an unlawful lockout.

Sec. 57-22-4 frames entry around legitimate property-management functions, and a workable list of permitted purposes follows directly from the statute and from ordinary management practice. The unifying test is simple: the owner needs a real, property-management reason to be inside the unit, not a pretext for checking up on or pressuring the renter. When the reason is genuine and the 24-hour notice is given, entry is rarely controversial – and because Utah lets the lease set the rules, a well-drafted lease often lists these purposes expressly. The categories below are not a closed statutory list; they are the everyday reasons an owner needs access, each of which the 24-hour rule comfortably covers.

Repairs and maintenance are the most common reason an owner needs access. This includes responding to a renter’s repair request, performing scheduled upkeep, and addressing conditions the owner is obligated to fix under the habitability provisions of the Fit Premises Act. Inspections – annual condition checks, move-out walkthroughs, and pre-renewal assessments – are equally routine, and a clear notice describing the inspection keeps it from feeling intrusive. Because Utah’s default is a flat 24 hours regardless of the purpose, the same notice discipline covers all of these.

Showings are a frequent flashpoint. An owner may need to show the unit to a prospective tenant near the end of a lease, to a prospective buyer if the property is on the market, or to a lender or appraiser during a refinance. Each of these is a legitimate purpose, but each also brings strangers into the renter’s home, so generous notice and reasonable scheduling matter most here. The form lets you record exactly who will enter, which turns a potentially contested showing into a documented, routine visit.

Building services and safety work round out the list: supplying necessary or agreed services, pest control treatment, servicing heating and cooling systems, and testing smoke and carbon-monoxide detectors. Safety-device testing in particular protects both sides, and most renters welcome it when it is scheduled with notice. Across all of these purposes, the form lets the owner state the exact reason, describe the work, and list everyone who will enter, which is the single most effective way to keep an entry uncontroversial.

It is worth being explicit about what is not a legitimate purpose. Entering to check whether the renter is keeping the unit “well enough” with no maintenance reason, to look for lease violations on a hunch, or to confront a renter over a dispute are not property-management purposes. Utah’s limited-remedy rule does not bless those entries – it just means the renter’s recourse runs through the lease and the common law rather than a Fit Premises Act damages claim. A landlord who cannot articulate a concrete, legitimate reason on the notice itself should treat that as a signal the entry should not happen.

Two timing questions come up constantly in Utah, and the statute answers them differently. The first – how much advance notice – has a clear default: at least 24 hours under Sec. 57-22-4(2), unless the lease says otherwise. The second – what hour of the day – has no statutory answer at all. Utah’s entry rule does not pin entry to a fixed time-of-day window the way some states require entry only during “normal business hours.” Instead, the practical standard is a reasonable hour for a legitimate purpose.

On notice, the 24-hour figure is a floor, not a target. Counting a clean 24 hours from the moment the notice is actually delivered – not from when it was written or sent – is the safe practice, and many Utah landlords give a day or two of cushion so there is no argument about whether the clock was satisfied. Where the lease sets a longer period, follow the lease; where the lease shortens or waives notice, the lease still controls under the override language, but a cautious landlord documents that the lease did so and that the renter agreed to it.

On hours, the absence of a statutory window is not a license to enter at any time. A reasonable hour generally means ordinary daytime hours. Entry early in the morning, late at night, or repeatedly at provocative times is harder to defend as reasonable and can color how a court views the entry if a quiet-enjoyment or trespass theory is ever raised. Offering a time window rather than a single rigid minute, and matching the entry to the renter’s schedule where practical, both reinforce that the entry was reasonable even though Utah does not codify a fixed window.

Frequency matters too, even though Utah does not legislate it directly. A single, well-noticed entry to make a repair is plainly reasonable. A pattern of frequent entries can interfere with the renter’s use of the home and can support a common-law quiet-enjoyment claim, which – unlike a Fit Premises Act entry claim – is not foreclosed by Sec. 57-22-4(9). The safe practice is to consolidate work, enter no more often than the task genuinely requires, give the full 24 hours each time, and keep a dated record of every notice.

How the notice is delivered feeds directly into whether the 24-hour clock is satisfied. A notice the renter never actually receives gives the owner little protection, even if it was technically “sent.” Personal delivery is the strongest method because it is hard to dispute. Posting on the door, especially paired with an email or text, is a practical and widely used approach. Email or text alone is reasonable where the lease permits electronic notice and the renter routinely uses that channel. Certified mail creates an excellent paper trail but is slow, so reserve it for situations where the schedule comfortably allows the full 24 hours to run. Whatever the method, choose the channel most likely to reach this particular renter and keep proof you used it.

Delivery method and the lease-override interact in a way that is easy to miss. Because the lease can specify how notice is given, a Utah lease that names a delivery channel – say, email to a stated address – effectively defines what “notice” means for that tenancy, and a landlord who uses a different channel may be giving notice that does not count under the parties’ own agreement even if it would otherwise be reasonable. The clean practice is to align the form’s delivery field with whatever the lease requires, use that channel, and keep the timestamp. Where the lease is silent on method, the owner has latitude, but the burden of proving the renter actually got 24 hours still rests on the owner, so a method that produces a record – a photograph of the posted notice, a sent email, a delivery receipt – is always preferable to one that leaves the timing to memory. The 24-hour figure is only as good as the proof that it ran.

Because Sec. 57-22-4(2) applies only “except as otherwise provided in the rental agreement,” the lease is unusually powerful in Utah. In a non-overridable 24-hour state, the lease cannot drop below the statutory floor; in Utah, the lease is the floor whenever it addresses entry. That makes the entry clause the first document to read in any Utah entry question – the statute supplies the default only where the lease is silent.

A lease can do several things the statute does not. It can lengthen the notice period – for example, requiring 48 hours – which a careful owner will then honor as the operative rule. It can set a specific delivery method, such as email to a stated address, which both sides can rely on. It can shorten the period or waive advance notice for defined categories, such as emergency repairs or pre-arranged showings, because the override language permits it. And it can spell out how showings near the end of the term are coordinated, which heads off the most common end-of-tenancy friction.

There are practical limits a landlord should respect even inside this freedom. A lease clause that purports to authorize entry “at any time, with no notice, for any reason” is technically permitted by the override language, but it reads badly, invites disputes, and does little real-world good because it cannot license conduct that becomes a common-law trespass or a breach of quiet enjoyment. The override controls the notice rule; it does not immunize an entry that is, in substance, harassment. A clause that tracks a sensible default – 24 hours’ notice, a stated delivery method, an emergency carve-out, and a showings procedure – gives the owner everything a normal operation needs while signaling good faith if the tenancy ever turns adversarial.

For a renter, the override cuts the other way: it means the protection actually in force may be whatever the lease says, not the statutory 24 hours. A renter who wants the comfort of the default should make sure the lease does not quietly shorten or waive it, and should read the entry clause before signing. For both sides, the takeaway is the same – in Utah, the entry rule is read out of the lease first and the statute second.

Utah’s entry subsection is notable for what it omits: unlike many states, Sec. 57-22-4(2) does not spell out an express emergency exception. That does not mean an owner must wait 24 hours while a unit floods. It means the authority for immediate emergency entry comes from general law and the lease rather than from a named statutory carve-out. In a genuine emergency – a fire, a flood, a gas leak, a burst pipe, or another immediate threat to life, safety, or the property – an owner may enter at once, because waiting could turn a containable problem into a catastrophe.

It helps to draw a bright line between a true emergency and mere urgency. A burst pipe actively flooding the unit, a gas smell, a fire alarm, or a report of a medical crisis behind a locked door justify immediate entry, because every minute of delay risks serious harm. A lease violation the owner is eager to confront, a repair the renter has been slow to schedule, or a desire to get ahead of a deadline are urgent to the owner but are not emergencies – and using an emergency rationale to cover them is exactly the kind of overreach a court will view skeptically if a quiet-enjoyment or trespass claim is later raised.

Because an emergency entry happens without the usual 24-hour notice and without a statute that expressly names the exception, documentation is the owner’s protection in Utah more than in states with a codified carve-out. Record the date and time, the nature of the emergency, what was found on entering, what was done, and who entered, and keep any photographs. Notify the renter promptly afterward, explaining what happened and why immediate entry was necessary. Scope matters too: an emergency justifies the entry needed to address the emergency, not a general search of the unit. An emergency entry that balloons into a broader, unconnected look around can lose whatever protection the general-law rationale provided and start to look like an ordinary unauthorized entry. A lease that expressly authorizes emergency entry, as the override language allows, gives the owner firmer footing than relying on general law alone.

Showings and end-of-tenancy inspections deserve their own treatment because they put the owner’s legitimate business needs in the sharpest tension with the renter’s peaceful possession. When a lease is ending, the owner may reasonably need to show the unit to prospective tenants so it does not sit vacant; when the property is for sale, the owner may need to show it to prospective buyers, and a buyer’s lender or appraiser may need access. All of these are legitimate purposes under Sec. 57-22-4, and all of them ride the same 24-hour default – there is no separate, longer figure for showings in Utah.

The protection for both sides is the 24-hour notice given at a reasonable hour, applied with extra care because showings cluster and involve strangers. A well-drafted Utah lease will often address how showings near the end of the term are handled, and because Utah honors the lease over the statutory default, that clause can set the operative procedure – for example, a defined showing window during the last month. A landlord should follow that clause while still giving notice the renter will actually see.

Practical courtesy goes a long way during a sale or re-rental. Group showings into defined windows rather than scattering them, give the renter as much lead time as possible beyond the bare 24 hours, and offer a way to reschedule around the renter’s commitments. A renter who feels respected during a marketing period is far less likely to refuse access or to raise a quiet-enjoyment objection, and the owner keeps the dated notices that show every showing was properly announced and reasonably timed. Move-out inspections follow the same logic: a clear notice describing what will be checked, scheduled with the full 24 hours, makes the walkthrough routine rather than contentious.

This is the heart of Utah entry law and the part most often misunderstood. Utah Code Sec. 57-22-4(9) states that a renter may not use the owner’s failure to comply with Subsections (2) through (7) – which include the 24-hour entry-notice duty – as a basis to excuse the renter’s own compliance with the rental agreement, or as a basis to bring a cause of action against the owner. Two consequences follow, and getting them right matters for both sides.

First, a missed entry notice does not excuse the renter’s own obligations. A renter cannot stop paying rent, or treat the lease as broken, simply because the owner entered on short notice. The entry violation and the rent obligation are separate; the renter who withholds rent in response to a bad entry is taking a real risk, because Sec. 57-22-4(9)(a) specifically forecloses using the owner’s slip as an excuse for the renter’s non-compliance.

Second, and more striking, the renter has no statutory cause of action against the owner for the entry-notice violation itself. Many states attach a damages remedy to their entry statute; Utah deliberately does not. That is why, throughout this guide, the “remedy” for an abusive over-entry is described in terms of the lease and the common law rather than a Fit Premises Act section. A renter who faces a genuinely abusive entry pattern looks to breach of the lease (if the lease promised more than the renter got), common-law trespass (an entry with no right of access founds a trespass action, because possession rather than title controls), the implied covenant of quiet enjoyment (an abusive entry can substantially interfere with the renter’s beneficial use of the home), and, in an extreme case where the home is made unusable and the renter actually moves out, constructive eviction. None of these is foreclosed by Sec. 57-22-4(9), because that subsection bars a statutory claim built on the entry-notice duty, not the general doctrines that exist independently of the Fit Premises Act.

It is worth being precise about the scope of Sec. 57-22-4(9), because it is narrower than a casual reading suggests. The subsection bars a cause of action built on the owner’s failure to comply with Subsections (2) through (7) – the owner’s-duties provisions, which include the 24-hour entry-notice duty. It does not purport to abolish trespass, quiet enjoyment, or contract law, and it does not reach conduct outside those subsections, such as an unlawful lockout under a separate title. So the correct way to read it is surgical: it removes the statutory entry-notice claim, and only that. A tenant whose theory does not depend on the Fit Premises Act entry duty – one who sues for trespass on an entry made with no right at all, or who sues on a lease clause the owner breached – is not asserting the kind of claim the subsection forecloses.

For a landlord, the practical reading is not “notice is optional.” It is that the cost of a notice slip is reputational and contractual rather than a built-in statutory penalty – and that the cost rises sharply if the conduct crosses from a short-notice entry into a pattern that supports a common-law claim, or worse, into an actual ouster governed by an entirely different statute. For a renter, the practical reading is that the strongest leverage usually lies in the lease and in documenting a pattern, not in the entry statute itself; a single short-notice entry is hard to build anything on, while a documented series of unauthorized or harassing entries can support a quiet-enjoyment or trespass theory that Sec. 57-22-4(9) leaves untouched. The disciplined habit of giving a documented 24-hour notice for every routine entry keeps the landlord clear of all of these, which is exactly what this form is built to make easy.

It is essential not to confuse a short-notice entry with an unlawful ouster, because they are governed by different statutes and carry very different consequences. Everything above concerns a landlord who enters the unit – on too little notice, at a bad hour, or too often. A lockout is something else entirely: changing the locks, removing the renter’s belongings, or shutting off utilities to force a renter out without going through the courts. Utah treats that as a serious wrong, and the no-cause-of-action limit of Sec. 57-22-4(9) does not shield it.

The contrast is worth stating plainly. A landlord who enters a Utah unit on twelve hours’ notice instead of twenty-four has committed an entry-notice violation for which Sec. 57-22-4(9) gives the renter no statutory cause of action. A landlord who changes the locks to force that same renter out has committed an unlawful ouster under Sec. 78B-6-814 for which the renter can pursue restoration of possession and, through the forcible-entry-and-detainer framework of Sec. 78B-6-811, treble damages and attorney fees. The lesson for a landlord is to keep entry and eviction strictly separate: use this notice-of-entry form and the 24-hour rule for access, and use the courts – never self-help – to recover possession. Mixing the two is how a routine access question turns into a treble-damages exposure.

The abandoned-premises exception in Sec. 78B-6-814 deserves a word of caution, because it is where well-meaning landlords most often stray into an unlawful ouster. The statute permits an owner to retake genuinely abandoned premises without judicial process, but abandonment is a demanding conclusion, not a convenient assumption. It generally requires both that the renter has actually left and that the renter intends not to return – shown by facts such as removed belongings, disconnected utilities, unpaid rent, and no response to contact. A renter who is merely traveling, hospitalized, or temporarily away has not abandoned the unit, and a landlord who treats an occupied home as abandoned, changes the locks, and is wrong has not made a clever shortcut; they have committed exactly the willful exclusion Sec. 78B-6-814 forbids, with the Sec. 78B-6-811 treble exposure attached. When abandonment is genuinely ambiguous, the safe course is to use the eviction process rather than self-help, and to keep the dated entry notices that show the owner was still treating the tenancy as live.

Utah also restrains an owner from using the end of a tenancy as a weapon, and a landlord managing entry should understand where that line sits. Utah Code Sec. 57-22-4 itself prohibits an owner from terminating a tenancy or bringing or threatening an eviction because the renter, in good faith and while current on rent and otherwise in compliance, complained about the owner’s failure to meet a legal duty. Utah does not house this protection in a stand-alone “retaliatory conduct” section the way some states do; it sits inside the owner’s-duties section alongside the entry rule, which is one reason it is easy to overlook.

The connection to entry is real but indirect. An owner who responds to a habitability complaint by suddenly scheduling a barrage of inspections, or by threatening to end the tenancy, can find the entry conduct read as part of a retaliatory pattern. The retaliation bar is a distinct rule from the entry-notice duty – it is about why the owner is acting, not how much notice the owner gave – but the two can intersect when entry is used to pressure a renter who has asserted a right. The clean practice is to keep entries tied to genuine property-management purposes and to base any decision about renewal or termination on independent, lawful grounds that the owner can document.

One more distinction prevents a common citation error. Utah Code Sec. 57-22-5.1 is sometimes grabbed as a tenant-protection catch-all, but it is the crime-victim and domestic-violence section: it gives a crime victim the right to new locks and lets a domestic-violence victim terminate the rental agreement early on proper documentation. It is not a retaliation statute and not an entry remedy. Keeping these straight – Sec. 57-22-4 for the entry duty and the retaliation bar, Sec. 57-22-4(9) for the no-cause-of-action limit, and Sec. 57-22-5.1 strictly for victim protection – is what separates an accurate Utah analysis from a borrowed one.

Utah entry law is short on its face but unusual in structure, and the most common errors come from grabbing the wrong code section. The entry duty and the no-cause-of-action limit both live in one statute, Utah Code Sec. 57-22-4, while the consequences for an actual ouster live in a different title entirely, the Forcible Entry and Detainer part of Title 78B. The table below collects the authorities that actually govern entry in Utah – and the ones a landlord or tenant is most likely to cite by mistake – so each rule can be seen against its real source.

Read together, these authorities tell a coherent story that is easy to get wrong if you grab the first plausible section. Utah did legislate landlord entry in 2021, so the duty is statutory and concrete – at least 24 hours’ prior notice under Sec. 57-22-4(2). But Utah deliberately declined to attach a statutory remedy to that duty. Sec. 57-22-4(9) bars a renter from turning a missed notice into a lawsuit or into an excuse for the renter’s own breach. That single subsection is what makes Utah different from a non-overridable 24-hour state: the rule exists, but its enforcement is left to the lease and to the common law rather than to a damages provision in the Fit Premises Act.

A word on using this reference responsibly, because the entry area is full of citation traps. The over-entry “remedy” is not in a Fit Premises Act section at all – it is the common law, because Sec. 57-22-4(9) closes the statutory door. Sec. 57-22-6 is the habitability remedy and does not reach an over-entry. Sec. 57-22-5.1 is the crime-victim and domestic-violence section, not an entry remedy. The treble-damages figure people associate with Utah landlord misconduct comes from Sec. 78B-6-811 and applies to a forcible-entry or unlawful-detainer judgment – and the conduct that triggers that track is an unlawful lockout under Sec. 78B-6-814, not a short-notice routine entry. Keeping each statute in its own lane is the whole skill here: Sec. 57-22-4 for the entry duty and retaliation, Sec. 57-22-4(9) for the no-cause-of-action limit, Sec. 78B-6-814 and Sec. 78B-6-811 for an ouster, and the common law for an abusive over-entry.

None of this is a substitute for advice on a specific situation. The authorities here describe the general shape of Utah entry law, but the outcome of any real dispute turns on the exact lease language, the facts of the entries, and how a particular court reads them. The official statute text on the Utah Legislature portal is the best free starting point for both sides, and a qualified Utah landlord-tenant attorney is the right resource when an actual conflict is on the table. Used alongside disciplined, well-documented 24-hour notice, this form gives a Utah landlord a clean, defensible record for every entry – which is the most reliable protection the structure of Utah law actually allows.

A Utah Notice to Enter is the written notice a landlord or property manager gives a renter before entering the rental unit. Utah is not a state where entry is left entirely to the lease: the Utah Fit Premises Act, amended in 2021, sets a statutory default at Utah Code Sec. 57-22-4(2). Under that subsection, the owner must give the renter at least 24 hours’ prior notice before entering. So the starting point in Utah is a clear 24-hour rule, not silence – but the same statute lets the parties write their own rule into the lease, and a separate subsection limits what happens if the notice is skipped.

Because the rule applies “except as otherwise provided in the rental agreement,” the first step is always to read the lease’s entry clause. If the lease sets a different notice period – longer, shorter, or even a waiver for certain entries – that lease term controls over the statutory 24-hour default. Where the lease is silent on entry, the statute fills the gap and the 24-hour requirement governs. This full lease-overridability is what makes Utah distinct from states whose 24-hour rule cannot be bargained away; in Utah the statute is the floor only when the lease does not speak, and the body of this guide works through how that override plays out for notice periods, delivery methods, emergencies, and showings.

What counts as a legitimate purpose is broad – repairs, inspections, showings to prospective tenants, buyers, lenders, or appraisers, pest control, servicing heating and cooling systems, and testing smoke and carbon-monoxide detectors – and the form lets you state the exact purpose, describe the work, list who will enter, and note whether the renter’s presence is requested. Utah’s statute does not pin entry to a fixed time-of-day window, so the guide explains the reasonable-hour standard that fills that gap, along with how delivery method affects whether the 24-hour clock is actually satisfied.

The feature that most sets Utah apart is its limited-remedy rule, and the guide gives it close attention. Under Sec. 57-22-4(9), a renter may not use the owner’s failure to give the required notice to excuse the renter’s own compliance with the lease, or as a basis to bring a cause of action against the owner. A missed notice, on its own, does not hand the renter a statutory lawsuit or relieve them of rent – which means Utah has no dedicated statutory entry remedy, and a renter’s recourse for an abusive entry runs through the lease and common-law doctrines such as trespass, the implied covenant of quiet enjoyment, and constructive eviction rather than a Fit Premises Act damages claim. That is not a license to skip notice, which is still the law and still the professional standard.

Two further distinctions, developed in the body, keep a Utah analysis accurate. An unlawful lockout is a different track entirely: Sec. 78B-6-814 forbids excluding a tenant except by judicial process, and the forcible-entry-and-detainer framework of Sec. 78B-6-811 supplies treble damages and attorney fees – real teeth that the entry-notice track does not carry. And retaliation is barred by Sec. 57-22-4 itself, not by Sec. 57-22-5.1, which is the crime-victim and domestic-violence section rather than an entry or retaliation remedy. A dated, signed 24-hour notice for every routine entry is the simple, durable record that shows you followed Sec. 57-22-4. Pair a consistent entry practice with disciplined tenant screening and a documented screening process so your Utah tenancies are well-run from application through move-out.

• Utah Code Sec. 57-22-4(2) requires at least 24 hours’ prior notice before entry.
• The rule applies except as the rental agreement provides – the lease may fully override it.
• Read the lease’s entry clause first; a lease term controls over the statutory default.
• There is no statutory time-of-day window – enter at a reasonable hour for a legitimate purpose.
• Sec. 57-22-4(9) bars a statutory cause of action: a missed notice does not excuse the renter’s own lease compliance or create a Fit Premises Act claim.

• Personal delivery to the renter.
• Posting on the door, alone or combined with email.
• Email or text where the lease permits electronic notice.
• Certified mail for a documented record when timing allows the 24-hour lead.

• Assuming a missed entry notice gives the renter a statutory lawsuit – Sec. 57-22-4(9) bars that cause of action.
• Confusing a short-notice entry with a lockout – an unlawful ouster runs under Sec. 78B-6-814 and the treble-damages framework of Sec. 78B-6-811.
• Citing Sec. 57-22-5.1 (the crime-victim/domestic-violence section) or Sec. 57-22-6 (habitability) as an entry remedy.
• Treating Sec. 57-22-4(9) as permission to skip notice – it limits remedies, it does not waive the duty.
• Reading entry at any hour as allowed because Utah sets no statutory window – a quiet-enjoyment claim still turns on reasonableness.

• Default to at least 24 hours’ written notice and read the lease for any different term.
• State the exact purpose, time window, and persons entering.
• Pick a reasonable hour, since Utah’s statute sets no time-of-day window.
• Keep every signed notice on file for the life of the tenancy.
