Utah Code § 13-11 § 13-11-23
Other remedies available -- Class action only as prescribed by act.
Operative Text
Other remedies available -- Class action only as prescribed by act. The remedies of this act are in addition to remedies otherwise available for the same conduct under state or local law, except that a class action relating to a transaction governed by this act may be brought only as prescribed by this act.
Utah Code Ann. § 13-11-23 establishes that the remedies provided under Utah's consumer protection act exist alongside, and do not replace, any other remedies that may be available under state or local law for the same conduct. However, there is one important limitation: class action lawsuits involving transactions covered by this act must follow the specific procedures set out in the act itself, rather than any other procedural framework. This provision effectively expands the remedial landscape for affected parties while channeling class litigation through a defined statutory path.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Utah Code Ann. § 13-11-23, property owners and managers should be aware that a single instance of conduct that violates this act may expose them to multiple layers of legal liability — both under the act and under other applicable state or local laws. Compliant operators generally maintain business practices that satisfy all overlapping legal standards, not just the minimum required by one statute. Because class action exposure is also governed by this provision, operators with large tenant populations have particular reason to ensure their transaction-related practices are consistent and lawful across the board.

Utah Code Ann. § 13-11-23 means that tenants are not limited to only the remedies spelled out in the act — other rights and remedies available under state or local law may also apply to the same conduct. Tenants who believe they have been harmed may have multiple avenues to explore, including individual claims under the act, other statutory claims, or local ordinance protections. Because class actions under this act must follow the act's own prescribed procedures, tenants interested in collective action may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or attorney familiar with Utah consumer protection law to understand what procedural requirements apply.
