Colorado Security Deposit, Rent Increase & Habitability Assessment

Reviews deposit accounting, rent notices, repairs, habitability, retaliation, records, local rules, and possible remedies.

Who this is for: residential tenants evaluating deposit, rent, or repair concerns.

Colorado law note (August 12, 2026): Colorado eviction, rent, retaliation, security-deposit, and habitability rules depend on the asserted ground and current statute. A security deposit is generally due within one month after termination unless the lease allows up to 60 days. Effective January 1, 2026, HB25-1249 added documentation, preexisting-damage, inspection, and record-retention protections. Notice and cure periods must be checked for the specific case.
