Colorado lease renewal guide

Renewal and nonrenewal

An expiration date does not settle every case

Colorado generally requires cause to evict residential tenants, subject to statutory exceptions. For a covered tenancy, expiration alone is not a substitute for cause. A refusal to sign a new agreement on reasonable terms can be a no-fault ground subject to requirements. Review coverage and procedure before serving any notice. Official source

Check the last rent increase

C.R.S. § 38-12-702 generally limits residential rent increases to once in any 12 months of consecutive occupancy, even if the renewal is a new fixed-term lease. Keep the effective date of the last increase and check the applicable notice rules. If the rent first increased on September 1, check that a proposed increase on July 1 of the following year falls within the same 12-month period before putting it in the renewal. Official source

Deposit and property condition

Preserve the original condition record

For conduct covered by Colorado’s 2026 deposit reforms, compare the unit with its condition before the tenancy and keep support for each deduction; normal wear and preexisting damage are not deductible. Review the walk-through and documentation provisions if a tenancy is ending. Official source

Disclosures and signing

Review radon information

Check the existing radon disclosure and whether the renewal needs an updated disclosure. Review the state requirements for known test results, mitigation information and the tenant’s acknowledgment. Official source

Keep a single signed version

Show each signer the same dates, rent and attachments. Keep a copy of the signed agreement and the underlying lease.

Renew with clear terms

This agreement extends an existing lease and records the renewed rent. Lawful terms not expressly changed continue. It does not replace the original lease, create a new automatic-renewal clause, extend a guaranty, or require the tenant to leave when the new term ends.

State guidance is a starting point, not a determination of local coverage or a legal opinion. Rent-regulated and subsidized housing can require prescribed forms. Review the official sources shown for your state and get qualified advice for special cases.
