Residential Sublease Agreement - Utah

Residential Sublease Agreement — Utah

Before you use this: This form assumes an ordinary residential rental unit, not a boarding or rooming-house facility excluded by Utah Code § 57-22-2(5). Attach the complete master lease and document any required primary-landlord consent. Give the written rent, expense, availability, screening, and payment-refund disclosures under Utah Code § 57-22-4(3) before taking any payment. Complete the move-in condition choice and contacts below; for covered pre-1978 housing, sign the federal lead exhibit and give the approved pamphlet and available reports before Subtenant is obligated.

This Agreement is made on [__/__/____] between [PRIMARY TENANT FULL NAME] (“Sublessor”) and [SUBTENANT FULL NAME] (“Subtenant”). The owner or primary landlord is [NAME] (“Primary Landlord”).

1. Premises and master lease

Address: [STREET, UNIT, CITY, UTAH ZIP]. Space rented: ☐ Entire dwelling ☐ [ROOM/AREA] with shared use of [COMMON AREAS]. Master lease dated: [__/__/____]. Master lease term: ☐ Fixed through [__/__/____] ☐ Month to month. The complete master lease, amendments, and applicable rules are attached as Exhibit A and delivered to Subtenant.

Master-lease subletting provision: [SECTION AND TERMS / NONE]. Authorization: ☐ Exhibit A permits this sublease without further consent. ☐ Primary Landlord's written consent is attached as Exhibit B or signed below. ☐ Required housing-program authorization is attached as Exhibit B. Subtenant will not occupy before required authorization is documented. Utah Code § 78B-6-802(1)(d) addresses subletting contrary to lease covenants; this Agreement does not override those covenants. Sublessor remains responsible under the master lease unless Primary Landlord separately releases Sublessor in writing.

2. Fixed term, rent, and charges

The sublease begins [__/__/____] and ends [__/__/____], no later than Sublessor's lawful right to possession under the master lease. An extension requires a signed writing and any required Primary Landlord approval. Staying after the fixed term requires a lawful new agreement; accepting rent does not grant Sublessor rights beyond the master lease.

Monthly rent: $[____] for each full rental month beginning on day [1-28] and ending the day before the next such date, due at the start of that period to [PAYEE] by [METHOD] at [ADDRESS/ACCOUNT]. First full rental month, if any: [START DATE THROUGH END DATE / NONE], at the monthly rent stated above, due [__/__/____ / NONE] (that period's starting date). Complete the schedule for any initial or final partial rental month; write "none" where a period does not apply. If the whole term fits within one partial rental month, complete the initial row and mark the final row and first full month "none." Each partial amount replaces monthly rent for its covered dates; do not charge the same dates twice.

Credit rent already paid for the initial or final covered dates against the completed amount for those dates. Include any excess prepaid rent in the Section 3 balance delivered after Subtenant vacates and returns possession. This credit does not release Sublessor from the master lease.

Late fee: ☐ None ☐ $[____] if rent remains unpaid [____] days after due. An incomplete amount or trigger means no late fee is agreed. Any late fee may not exceed the greater of 10% of agreed rent or $75 under Utah Code § 57-22-4(5).

Other fixed, non-rent charges: [AMOUNT, PURPOSE, DUE DATE / NONE]. Use-based charges: [TYPE, CALCULATION, DUE DATE / NONE]. Utilities and services paid by Sublessor: [LIST]. Paid by Subtenant: [LIST AND ALLOCATION]. No additional fee or assessment is agreed unless stated here or permitted by applicable law.

Written disclosure before any application fee or other payment: Sublessor delivered these terms to prospective Subtenant on [DATE], before receiving $[AMOUNT / NONE]: estimated rent $[____]; each fixed non-rent expense and estimated amount [____ / NONE]; types of use-based expenses [____ / NONE]; scheduled availability date [____]; screening criteria, including any criminal-history, credit, income, employment, or rental-history criteria [____]; and requirements and process for recovering money paid in relation to this unit [____]. Attach any separate disclosure supplied before payment as Exhibit C. This record does not replace a required earlier disclosure if payment was already taken.

Statutory prepayment recovery route: If the later agreement states a different amount from the good-faith estimate or adds an undisclosed type of use-based non-rent expense, the prospective renter may demand return of money paid in writing within five business days after receiving the agreement, while still unsigned and before taking possession. Sublessor will return the money within five business days after receiving a qualifying demand. [Utah Code § 57-22-4(4)].

3. Deposit and move-in condition

Subtenant pays a refundable security deposit of $[____ / ZERO], contractually limited to no more than one month's rent. No part is nonrefundable. Sublessor may deduct unpaid rent, damage beyond reasonable wear and tear, contract charges, or cleaning as Utah Code § 57-17-3(1) permits.

No later than 30 days after Subtenant vacates and returns possession, Sublessor will mail or deliver the balance of the deposit and any prepaid rent, with a written explanation itemizing each deduction, to Subtenant's last known address or electronically by a means Subtenant provided. Forwarding address or electronic delivery method: [DETAILS / TO BE PROVIDED].

Before signing, Sublessor provided one of these Utah Code § 57-22-4(6) options: ☐ written condition inventory; ☐ condition form for Subtenant to complete and return within a reasonable time after occupancy; ☐ opportunity for a walkthrough inspection. Record or form: [ATTACH / IDENTIFY].

4. Occupancy, condition, and entry

Permitted occupants: [NAMES]. Pets: [TERMS / NONE]. Parking/storage: [TERMS / NONE]. Attached rules: [IDENTIFY / NONE]. Subtenant will keep the premises reasonably clean, report needed repairs promptly, and pay for damage caused by Subtenant or guests beyond ordinary wear. Sublessor will keep the dwelling safe, sanitary, and fit for human occupancy, and coordinate repairs that Primary Landlord must perform. Additional repair or service allocation, if lawful: [DETAILS / NONE].

Except in an emergency or another lawful exception, Sublessor will give Subtenant at least 24 hours' prior notice before entering for inspection, repair, service, or showing, and enter at a reasonable time. This is an express term of this Agreement. Entry will not be used to harass Subtenant.

5. Contacts, notices, and surrender

Sublessor's name, address, and telephone number for management and notices: [DETAILS]. Primary Landlord/manager name, address, and telephone number: [DETAILS]. Additional authorized notice agent, if needed: [DETAILS / NONE]. Subtenant's notice address and telephone number: [DETAILS]. Written contract notices will be delivered by [METHOD] subject to applicable law. Each party will promptly give the other any notice from Primary Landlord affecting this sublease.

At or before the rental term begins, Sublessor gives Subtenant the written owner or authorized management/notice-agent contacts above, an executed copy of this Agreement, and the applicable attached rules. [Utah Code § 57-22-4(7)].

At the lawful end of possession, Subtenant will vacate, remove personal property, return keys to [PERSON], leave the dwelling reasonably clean subject to ordinary wear, and provide deposit delivery instructions. A default or possession action must follow lawful notice and court process; no term here authorizes self-help removal. The parties retain applicable statutory rights, including any protected termination right.

• Exhibit A: Complete master lease, amendments, and rules: ☐ Attached and delivered.
• Exhibit B: Primary Landlord and any program authorization: ☐ Attached ☐ Signed below.
• Exhibit C: Written prepayment disclosure, if delivered separately: ☐ Attached ☐ Included above before payment.
• Exhibit D: Signed federal lead disclosure below: ☐ Completed for covered pre-1978 housing ☐ Not applicable after coverage review, reason [____]. Other local or program disclosures: [IDENTIFY / NONE APPLICABLE].

6. Agreement and signatures

Utah law governs. No term waives a nonwaivable right. An unenforceable term does not cancel the remaining lawful terms. Changes require a writing signed by both parties and any required consenting person. Each party receives a signed copy.
