Deseret News Beehive State lacks renter protections that neighboring states have adopted Share this story Jeffrey D. Allred, Deseret News SALT LAKE CITY — Utah’s protections for renters are weaker than in most states, but a proposal at the state Legislature could help give them a leg up, according to a new analysis from law students at the University of Utah. The Beehive State doesn’t require landlords to disclose all the fees tenants must cover on top of rent. Rep. Marsha Judkins is now seeking to change that so tenants don’t wind up with unexpected bills by sponsoring HB68.
