Operative Text
Noncompliance by supplier subject to other state supervision -- Cooperation of division and other official or agency. (1) (a) If the division receives a complaint or other information relating to noncompliance with this chapter by a supplier that is subject to other supervision in this state, the division shall inform the official or agency having that supervision. (b) The division may request information about a supplier from the official or agency. (2) (a) The division and any other official or agency in this state having supervisory authority over a supplier shall consult and assist each other in maintaining compliance with this chapter. (b) Within the scope of the division's authority, the division and any other official or agency in this state may jointly or separately make investigations, prosecute suits, and take other official action the division considers appropriate.
Utah Code Ann. § 13-11-18 establishes a coordination framework between the Utah Division of Consumer Protection and other state agencies when a supplier under their shared oversight may be violating the Utah Consumer Sales Practices Act. When the Division receives a complaint or information about such a supplier, it is required to notify the relevant supervising agency and may request information from that agency in return. The two bodies are then authorized to work together—jointly or separately—to investigate, pursue legal action, and take other appropriate steps to bring the supplier into compliance.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Although Utah Code Ann. § 13-11-18 is not specific to residential landlord-tenant law, suppliers of goods or services who are also regulated by another Utah state agency should be aware that the Division of Consumer Protection and that agency are required to share information and coordinate enforcement efforts. A compliant operator generally maintains consistent practices across all applicable regulatory frameworks, since a complaint filed with one agency can be shared with others. Keeping accurate records and responding promptly to any agency inquiry reflects the kind of cooperative compliance this provision anticipates.

Under Utah Code Ann. § 13-11-18, if you file a complaint with the Utah Division of Consumer Protection about a supplier that is also overseen by another state agency, the Division is required to inform that other agency and may coordinate enforcement with them. This means a single complaint can trigger a broader, multi-agency review of the supplier's conduct. Tenants or consumers who believe a supplier has violated the Utah Consumer Sales Practices Act may consider contacting the Division of Consumer Protection directly, or reaching out to a tenant-rights organization for guidance on which agencies may be relevant to their situation.
