Landlord Tenant Law in Colorado
Landlord tenant law in Colorado is a mixture of both real property and contract law. As such, the legal rules and principles that apply to landlord tenant relationships can be complex. Accordingly, Landlords and tenants alike should consult with a qualified attorney whenever they have questions. A landlord tenant lawyer can properly advise you and recommend the best course of action to take.
Common Disputes Between Landlords and Tenants
Improperly Drafted Leases
Many landlords and tenants fail to properly memorialize leases in writing. This is particularly true in residential leases. While there are statutes that address the landlord tenant relationship, Colorado relies primarily on common law to interpret lease agreements. Accordingly, failing to appropriately address circumstances and events in a written lease can become expensive and time consuming when there is a conflict between the parties. For this reason, it is imperative to properly draft every lease agreement to address each party’s concerns and expectations.
Although there are many online leases available, many of these lack the necessary provisions to appropriately protect each party’s interests. The attorneys at Arant Law are qualified to review and draft lease agreements. We can help you best protect your interests.
Security Deposit Disputes
Landlords and tenants often disagree over the return of security deposits. While landlords have a right to reduce the security deposit to cover certain damages, tenants often disagree over the amount reduced. Landlords can face harsh penalties for improperly keeping portions of a security deposit. For this reason, landlords should seek qualified legal help whenever there is a dispute concerning security deposits.
