A Colorado lease agreement<\/strong> outlines the rights and responsibilities of both landlords and tenants before the rental period begins. This legally binding contract establishes need-to-know rental terms, including the names of all parties, lease length, rent amount, payment options, security deposit details, maintenance expectations, and more.<\/p>\n

A bulletproof contract gives both parties a clear reference point throughout the tenancy and helps reduce disputes over rent, repairs, property rules, and move-out responsibilities.

Required Landlord Disclosures (9)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Colorado landlords must provide certain disclosures before or at the time tenants sign a residential lease agreement. These disclosures include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Lead-based paint disclosure<\/strong>: Federal law requires landlords to disclose known lead-based paint or lead-based paint hazards in most homes or apartments built before 1978. Landlords must also provide the required lead warning statement and EPA-approved pamphlet before the tenant signs the lease (42 U.S.C. \u00a7 4852d<\/a>).<\/li>\n
  2. Written lease copy<\/strong>: Colorado landlords must provide tenants with a copy of the signed written rental agreement no later than 7 days after the tenant signs it. Landlords may provide an electronic copy unless the tenant requests a paper copy (Colo. Rev. Stat. \u00a7 38-12-801<\/a>).<\/li>\n
  3. Names and addresses of landlord or authorized agent disclosure<\/strong>: Colorado written rental agreements must include a statement identifying the landlord’s name and address or the landlord\u2019s authorized agent. If that information changes, the new landlord or authorized agent must give written or electronic notice to each tenant within 1 business day or post the updated information in a prominent place on the property (Colo. Rev. Stat. \u00a7 38-12-801<\/a>).<\/li>\n
  4. Radon gas disclosure<\/strong>: Before a tenant signs a lease, Colorado landlords must give them a signed radon disclosure that includes the required warning statement, any knowledge of radon concentrations, radon test results, mitigation information, and a copy of the most recent Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment radon brochure (Colo. Rev. Stat. \u00a7 38-12-803<\/a>).<\/li>\n
  5. Income non-discrimination disclosure<\/strong>: Colorado written rental agreements must include a statement that (Colo. Rev. Stat. \u00a7 24-34-502(1)<\/a>) prohibits source-of-income discrimination and requires a non-exempt landlord to accept any lawful and verifiable source of money paid to or on behalf of the tenant, including rental assistance from any federal, state, local, or nonprofit program. This requirement does not apply to landlords with five or fewer single-family rental homes and no more than five total rental units (Colo. Rev. Stat. \u00a7 38-12-801<\/a>).<\/li>\n
  6. Denver Tenant Rights and Resources Handbook<\/strong>: For rental properties in the City and County of Denver, landlords must provide the Denver Tenant Rights and Resources<\/a> notice when the lease is signed and when a rent demand is served.<\/li>\n
  7. Bed bug disclosure<\/strong>: Colorado landlords cannot offer a unit for rent if they know or reasonably suspect that it contains bed bugs. Upon a prospective tenant’s request, the landlord must disclose whether, to the landlord\u2019s knowledge, the unit had bed bugs within the previous 8 months (Colo. Rev. Stat. \u00a7 38-12-1005<\/a>).<\/li>\n
  8. Warranty of habitability statement<\/strong>: Colorado rental agreements entered into or renewed on or after January 1, 2025, must include a statement in English and Spanish, in at least 12-point boldfaced type, indicating where tenants can deliver written notice of unsafe or uninhabitable conditions. The lease must also include the required safe housing and anti-retaliation statement (Colo. Rev. Stat. \u00a7 38-12-503<\/a>).<\/li>\n
  9. Fee and total-price disclosure<\/strong>: For leases entered into, renewed, or amended on or after January 1, 2026, Colorado\u2019s price transparency law requires landlords to disclose the total price of the rental up front. Landlords must present it as a single dollar amount that includes rent and all mandatory recurring fees They cannot advertise a lower base rent and list required fees separately (Colo. Rev. Stat. \u00a7 6-1-737<\/a>).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n
