Colorado rental law at a glance
Colorado does not set a statutory limit on security deposit amounts.
Landlord must return the deposit within one month after the tenant moves out, unless the lease specifies a longer period (which may not exceed 60 days).
At least 21 days' written notice ends a month-to-month tenancy. Longer notice applies as the tenancy lengthens under Colorado's rules (28 days for 6–12 month tenancies, and 91 days at one year or more).
Late fees are capped at the greater of $50 or 5% of the overdue rent, cannot be charged until rent is at least 7 days late, and must be disclosed in the lease.
