About Colorado Bedbug Disclosure
Colorado enacted comprehensive bedbug legislation in 2019. The statute (C.R.S. § 38-12-1003) requires landlords to disclose known bedbug history, respond to tenant reports within 96 hours, hire qualified pest control professionals when infestation is confirmed, and not show or rent units known to have active infestations.
Colorado’s Bedbug Framework
- Disclosure lookback: 8 months of prior infestation history
- Landlord response window: 96 hours from tenant’s written report
- Treatment requirement: qualified pest control professional required
- Cannot show or rent units with known active infestations
- Tenant must report suspected infestation in writing
What the Disclosure Covers
- Whether the property has had a bedbug infestation within the lookback period
- Date and treatment status of any prior infestation
- Pest control company used and treatment outcome
- Tenant acknowledgment of receipt
Tenant Reporting Responsibilities
Colorado tenants must promptly report any suspected bedbug infestation to the landlord in writing. Once reported, the landlord has 96 hours to inspect and respond. Tenants should preserve the report (email, text, signed letter) for their records. Failure of either party to follow the statutory procedures can affect liability for treatment costs and damages.
