Utah Code § 13-11 § 13-11-9
Rule-making requirements.
Operative Text
Rule-making requirements. In accordance with Title 63G, Chapter 3, Utah Administrative Rulemaking Act, the division shall make rules that specify acts or practices that violate Subsection 13-11-4(1).
Utah Code Ann. § 13-11-9 directs the state Division of Consumer Protection to formally adopt administrative rules that identify specific acts or practices constituting violations of the consumer sales practices prohibition found in Subsection 13-11-4(1). This rulemaking must follow the procedures established by the Utah Administrative Rulemaking Act (Title 63G, Chapter 3), which includes public notice and comment requirements. The result is a set of officially published rules that give concrete examples of what conduct is considered unlawful under Utah's consumer protection framework.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Utah Code Ann. § 13-11-9, the Division of Consumer Protection is required to publish administrative rules that spell out which specific acts or practices cross the line into violations of Subsection 13-11-4(1). Property owners and managers who engage in consumer-facing transactions—such as collecting fees, making representations about rental units, or handling deposits—generally review those published rules to understand which conduct the Division has formally identified as prohibited. Staying current with any updates to those rules, which are issued through the Utah Administrative Rulemaking Act process, is a standard part of compliance practice.

Utah Code Ann. § 13-11-9 requires the Division of Consumer Protection to issue formal rules listing specific acts or practices that violate the consumer sales practices standards in Subsection 13-11-4(1), giving tenants a concrete reference point for understanding what conduct is prohibited. If a landlord's behavior appears to match a practice identified in those administrative rules, tenants may have grounds to raise that violation through the Division of Consumer Protection's complaint process. Tenant-rights organizations can help individuals understand how the Division's published rules apply to a given situation and what enforcement or complaint options may be available.
