Colorado Advisory on Housing Protections for Domestic Violence Survivors

Colorado landlordsOctober 6, 2026Colorado Attorney General

Summary

Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser issued an advisory reminding landlords of expanded housing protections for survivors of domestic violence, abuse, stalking, and unlawful sexual behavior. The advisory describes obligations involving repayment plans, lease termination, safety measures, and confidentiality; it does not announce a fine or enforcement order against a named landlord.

Contract Impact

Landlords and property managers should review residential lease forms, tenant-facing policies, and property-management agreements for terms that could conflict with survivor protections. Check clauses and procedures for repayment plans instead of eviction over qualifying late rent, early lease termination, lock changes and other safety measures, allocation of abuser-caused damage, and restrictions on assigning related debts to collectors. Review privacy and access controls for tenant records so a survivor’s status and new address remain confidential, including any disclosures to vendors, collection agencies, or other third parties.
