When must a landlord in Utah return the security deposit?

Deadline: 30 days after move out

Return security deposit with itemized statement within 30 days of move-out. Utah law (Utah Code 57-17-3) requires mailing or delivering to the tenant's last known address, or sending electronically by a means the tenant provided, the deposit balance, any prepaid rent balance, and a written notice itemizing and explaining each deduction within 30 days after the tenant vacates and returns possession, and a landlord who has still not complied five business days after the tenant serves a formal demand notice owes the full deposit and any prepaid rent plus a $100 penalty.
