The Safe Housing for Residential Tenants Senate Bill, SB24-094, requires residential landlords and property managers to include a statement in every Colorado Lease and online platforms.
On and after January 1, 2025, every rental agreement must include a statement in at least twelve-point bold-faced font, that every tenant is entitled to safe and healthy housing under Colorado’s warranty of habitability, and that a landlord is prohibited from retaliating against a tenant in any manner for reporting unsafe conditions in the tenant's residential premises, requesting repairs, or seeking to enjoy the tenant's right to safe and healthy housing.
Furthermore, every rental agreement must also include, in both English and Spanish, in at least twelve-point bold-faced font, an address where a tenant can mail or personally deliver written notice of an uninhabitable condition and an e-mail address or accessible online tenant portal or platform where a tenant can deliver written notice of an uninhabitable condition.
Finally, if a landlord provides a tenant with an online tenant portal, the landlord must post in a conspicuous place in the online tenant portal, a statement in English and Spanish that states an address where a tenant can mail or personally deliver written notice of an uninhabitable condition and an e-mail address or accessible online portal where a tenant can deliver written notice of an uninhabitable condition.
