The most important thing is to call us as soon as you recognize you have a legal problem. Our funding requires us to do an extensive screening to see if you qualify. You will need information and have to go through the process before we can provide any service. Let's start with some definitions of terms that we use.
Utah Legal Services (ULS) can only provide legal help to those who qualify in non-criminal cases. We can answer questions, give advice, prepare legal documents, and represent clients in court and before administrative agencies. We cannot assist you in any criminal matter (including traffic violations). We currently handle the following types of cases:
Family Problems
ULS may be able to help with:
EMERGENCY - If you are being threatened with death or bodily harm or injury, seek safety immediately and call 911 from any phone.
A tenant and a landlord can end a tenancy for no reason at the end of a lease or when the tenant is living in the property on a month to month basis. This can be done if the landlord or the tenant give to the other person what is often called a “No Cause” notice.
This information applies only when you received a notice that the landlord posted a possession bond and you asked the court to set a hearing in response to that notice.
At your immediate occupancy hearing, the judge will determine who gets possession of your rental unit. Either the landlord gets the rental unit back or you get to stay there. In order of likelihood, here is what might happen:
If your rent is legally increased and you receive a 3-day or 5-day notice to pay or vacate after failing to pay the increased amount, you must pay the increase – and all late fees imposed by a written agreement – or you risk being evicted. Once the 3- or 5-calendar day period has expired, you lose the right to cure the default (by paying). The landlord can evict you.
Thank you for your interest in Utah Legal Services, and for your support of our work. Our staff and I consider it an honor to work, and work hard, for people who otherwise would not have an effective voice in our legal system. Together we are committed to equal justice and meeting the basic needs of the poor and disadvantaged in Utah. With the help of our many partners and of you, we can make this ideal a reality. Thank You.
