Colorado Security Deposit Demand Letter

A Colorado security deposit demand letter is a notice sent to a landlord from a tenant who has not received their security deposit once the deadline has passed. The landlord can make deductions from the tenant's security deposit for things like past-due rent, unpaid utilities, and damage to the property.

Laws

Deadlines: In Colorado, a landlord is given 30 days to return the deposit to the tenant. The lease agreement may include a clause giving the landlord more time to return the deposit; however, this may not exceed 60 days.[1]

Hazardous Conditions: If the lease is terminated due to hazardous conditions, the deposit must be returned within 72 hours.[2]

Penalties: Failure of the landlord to comply with the demand letter (after seven days have passed) could result in the tenant being awarded three times the initial deposit amount.[3]
