Adobe, Vivint, Podium, and over 100 startups have made it one of the state's fastest-growing cities. That's created a rental market unlike anywhere else on the Wasatch Front, higher incomes, lower vacancy, and applicants who expect updated finishes. Here's what investors need to know. ## What Lehi Listings Compete On Silicon Slopes employment is the demand driver. Typical listing facts that move applications: - Household incomes in the $90K–$160K band are common among dual-income tech-corridor applicants - 3–4 bedroom and townhome product both lease - High expectations for in-unit laundry, attached garage, and smart home features - Short-to-medium term tenure (18–30 months) before many households purchase - Pet owners at higher-than-average rates Twilight photography, professional video walkthroughs, and updated fixtures drive above-median rents consistently when commute and garage features are in the listing. ## What You Can Charge Current Lehi rental pricing ranges (2026): - 2BR townhome (1,200 sqft): $1,700–$2,100/mo - 3BR single-family (1,800 sqft): $2,100–$2,600/mo - 4BR single-family (2,400+ sqft): $2,600–$3,200/mo - Attached garage adds: $100–$150/mo - EV charger ready: $75–$100/mo Lehi's vacancy rate sits under 4%, one of the lowest in the state. Properly priced properties attract 10–20 qualified applications in the first week. ## Utah Landlord-Tenant Law Essentials Key requirements every Lehi landlord must know: - **Security deposit limit:** No statutory limit, but must be returned within 30 days of the end of the tenancy, or 15 days after the tenant gives a forwarding address, whichever is later, with itemized deductions. - **Notice to enter:** 24 hours minimum for non-emergency inspections. - **Notice to vacate:** 15 days for month-to-month tenancies; varies by lease term. - **Habitability:** Landlord must maintain heat, plumbing, and structural integrity. After written notice, a tenant has the remedies in Utah Code § 57-22-6 (repair-and-deduct, rent abatement, or ending the lease). - **Eviction process:** File in the court that covers the property; Lehi is in Utah County, which is the Fourth District. Unlawful detainer cases typically take 3–6 weeks from filing to judgment. Non-compliance with notice requirements is the #1 reason landlords lose eviction cases. A professional PM company tracks all notice timelines automatically. ## What a Property Manager Handles A quality Lehi property manager like Ondo RE will handle: - Professional photography, video tour, and syndication to Zillow, Realtor.com, Apartments.com - Tenant screening: credit, criminal, eviction history, income verification (3x rent standard) - Lease execution with Utah-compliant forms - Online rent collection with direct deposit to owner - 24/7 emergency maintenance coordination - Annual inspections with photo documentation - Owner dashboard with real-time financials - Year-end statements and 1099s for tax preparation ## Fees to Budget - **Monthly management fee:** 8–10% of collected rent - **Leasing fee (new tenant):** 50–100% of first month's rent - **Maintenance:** Cost + coordination fee On a $2,200/mo unit: management fee = $176–$220/mo. Annual cost: ~$2,100–$2,640, plus one leasing fee at turnover. Most owners find this pays for itself via lower vacancy, fewer legal misses, and faster turns. ## Investment Returns in Lehi At current prices and rents: - Gross yield: 3.5–4.5% on purchase price - Net yield after management, taxes, insurance, and maintenance: 1.5–2.5% - 10-year appreciation assumption (4%/yr): $540K home → $799K Lehi is a cash-flow-neutral to slightly negative market at today's prices, but appreciation-driven total return is strong. Best suited for investors with a 5–10 year hold horizon.
