Finding yourself in a dispute with a large property management company like Greystar Properties can feel overwhelming. If you are currently facing an eviction record, aggressive debt collection, or massive “broken lease” fees, the anxiety of potentially losing your ability to secure future housing is real. At Cannon Legal PLLC, we understand that your housing stability is your top priority. You don’t have to let an inflated rental balance or a looming court filing derail your future.
The Legal Reality: Utah Law Protects Your Rights
Many tenants are unaware that property management companies are held to strict statutory standards in Utah. When Greystar Properties or any landlord assesses fees, those charges must comply with state regulations. If your account has been sent to collections, or if you are being threatened with litigation, we look at the following legal protections:
Under Utah law, late fees are capped at the greater of 10% of your monthly rent or $75. Furthermore, if you have been charged for an early lease termination, the landlord has a legal obligation to mitigate their damages by making a good-faith effort to re-rent the unit. We also ensure that any third-party collection fees added to your balance do not exceed the 40% threshold of the principal debt, as restricted by Utah Code § 12-1-11.
If you have already noticed these discrepancies impacting your credit score, you may also need assistance Fixing Credit Reporting Errors to ensure that your file accurately reflects your legal standing.
