Yes, in Utah a tenant may be able to change the locks, but only under specific conditions. Generally, tenants cannot change locks without the landlord’s permission unless there is an emergency, such as a threat to personal safety.
Outside of these situations, changing the locks without the landlord’s consent can be considered a violation of the lease and may result in legal consequences, such as eviction or liability for damages.
