Colorado: Security deposits
C.R.S. 38-12-102.5 (eff. Aug 7, 2023): deposit may not exceed two monthly rent payments. Returned within one month after termination (up to 60 days if the lease specifies) (C.R.S. 38-12-103(1)).
Colorado's deposit statutes (C.R.S. 38-12-101 to 104) do not require interest.
Colorado: Notices and tenancy endings
10 days' written demand for payment or possession for residential tenancies (C.R.S. 13-40-104(1)(d)); paying in full within the period cures.
C.R.S. 13-40-107 notice-to-quit varies by tenancy length: 1 year+ = 91 days; 6 months–1 year = 28 days; 1–6 months = 21 days; week-to-week/at will = 3 days. No notice for a fixed-term lease ending at a time certain.
Court listed in the supplied dataset: County Court (Forcible Entry and Detainer; District Court has concurrent jurisdiction).
Colorado: Licensing and registration
No statewide landlord license; some municipalities operate local rental-licensing programs.
