Laws

• Application Fee – Landlords may charge tenants any amount so long as the entire fee is used to cover the actual costs incurred by the landlord. However, this fee:
  • Must be consistent with the amounts charged to other prospective tenants (C.R.S.A. § 38-12-903(2)(a)); and
  • May not be charged if a prospective tenant provides an acceptable portable screening report (§ 38-12-903(2)(b)).
• Security Deposit – There is no limit to the amount a landlord may request as a security deposit (no statutes).
