Required Landlord Disclosures (7)
- Names and address of landlord or authorized agent: Colorado landlords must include their name, address, and contact information when drafting a residential lease. If they move or get a new phone number, the landlord should send the tenant a written notification or an electronic communication no more than 1 day after the change. Tenants should have no trouble finding the new information on-site at the rental location (CRS § 38-12-801).
- Radon gas: Landlords must add a radon gas disclosure to the lease, which should document radon testing and concentrations, any existing radon mitigation system at the location, and relevant activities (CRS § 38-12-803).
- Income non-discrimination: Landlords of five or more rental properties must not discriminate against tenants based on how they earn income (CRS § 38-12-801).
- Lead paint: Per federal law (Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992), if a rental property was built before 1978, the landlord must notify new tenants about the presence of lead-based paint.
- Denver Tenant Rights and Resources handbook: If the rental property is in the City or County of Denver, landlords must attach this handbook to the rental agreement and distribute it to tenants. The handbook must also be distributed to the tenant if payment is required.
- Bed bugs: New tenants are entitled to a report of any bed bugs in the past 8 months (CRS § 38-12-1005).
- How and where to report an unsafe/uninhabitable condition: As of 2025, state law requires landlords to provide tenants with information on how and where they can report unsafe or uninhabitable living conditions. The information should be in English and Spanish, and landlords must include it in the lease (SB24-094).

Rent Increase Laws
Colorado does not have rent control or stabilization regulations. In 1981, the state instituted the Rental Housing Act, prohibiting cities and counties from implementing rent control policies.
Without rent control in Colorado, landlords can increase rent accordingly. However, giving the tenant proper notice of at least 21 days for a month-to-month lease is still essential. Also, landlords cannot increase the rent more than once during a year of tenancy (CRS § 13-40-107).
