What is a Tenancy At-Will
An “at-will” tenant is someone who has moved into a rental unit without any formal lease agreement with the landlord. The landlord can terminate the tenancy by serving the tenant a written notice to quit, allowing them five days to move out.[1]

UTAH 5-DAY NOTICE TO QUIT | TENANCY AT-WILL
Date: [MM/DD/YYYY]
To: [TENANT NAME(S)]
Rental (Premises) Street Address: [STREET ADDRESS] City: [CITY] State: Utah
You are a tenant at will (this means you have no contractual right to remain on the premises).
You must move out of the premises within five calendar days. (Utah Code 78B-6-802(1)(b)(ii)) Move out means leave the premises, take all your belongings and leave any keys or access cards. Calendar days includes weekend days and holidays, but does not include the day of service.
If you do not move out of the premises, you may be determined by a court to be in “unlawful detainer” and evicted. If that happens, you would be removed from the property and may be liable for amounts due under your rental contract plus attorney fees, court costs and treble damages. Treble damages means three times the amount of the damages. This could include rent, late fees, and property damage.
