Utah Landlord-Tenant Recording Laws
Utah follows one-party consent under Utah Code Ann. 77-23a-4, so either a tenant or landlord may record any conversation they personally join without notifying the other party. Landlords cannot install cameras inside a tenant-occupied unit without consent; doing so violates Utah's voyeurism statute (76-9-702.7).
Utah's one-party consent law gives tenants the right to record conversations with their landlord. Under Utah Code Ann. 77-23a-4, any party to a conversation can record it without informing others.
This guide covers tenant and landlord recording rights, security camera rules for rentals, entry notification requirements, and evidence use.
Tenant Recording Rights
You can record in-person conversations, phone calls, inspections, and move-in/move-out walkthroughs with your landlord without informing them. Common reasons include documenting repair agreements, harassment, illegal entry, and security deposit disputes.
You cannot record conversations your landlord has with others that you are not part of, or install cameras aimed at other tenants' units.
Landlord Recording and Cameras
Landlords can place cameras in common areas of multi-unit buildings (lobbies, hallways, parking lots). Landlords cannot install cameras inside tenant-occupied units without consent. Violations of the voyeurism statute (76-9-702.7) carry Class A misdemeanor penalties.
Entry Notification
Under the Utah Fit Premises Act (57-22-4), landlords must provide at least 24 hours notice before entering, except in emergencies. The notice must specify date, approximate time, and purpose. Tenants can use cameras to document entries and verify compliance.
Security Deposits
Recording move-in/move-out inspections creates valuable evidence for deposit disputes. Utah law requires landlords to return deposits within 30 days and provide an itemized list of deductions.
Fair Housing
Recordings of discriminatory statements by landlords can be submitted to HUD or the Utah Antidiscrimination and Labor Division.
