About the Colorado Lease Renewal Agreement
A Colorado lease renewal is a bilateral agreement extending the rental relationship for an additional term with the same parties. CRS Title 38, Article 12 governs residential landlord-tenant relations. Key provisions for renewals: 60 days written notice required for rent increases over 5% (CRS 38-12-702), implied warranty of habitability under CRS 38-12-503, and security deposit return rules under CRS 38-12-103.
Colorado’s Lease Renewal Agreement Framework
- Statute: CRS Title 38, Article 12 (Tenants and Landlords)
- Rent increase notice: 60 days written notice for increases over 5% (CRS 38-12-702)
- Implied warranty of habitability: CRS 38-12-503 (Habitability Act of 2008)
- Security deposit: not capped statewide; must be returned per CRS 38-12-103
- Form: signed writing by both parties is sufficient — no statutory form required

Notice Requirements and Best Practices
Colorado does not require statutory notice to renew a lease, but best practice is to communicate renewal intentions 60-90 days before the original lease end date. This gives both parties time to negotiate terms or seek alternatives. Rent increases during the renewal exceeding 5% require 60 days written notice under CRS 38-12-702. If the parties cannot agree on renewal terms, the lease will terminate on its original end date.
Re-screen your renewing tenants
Before renewing, many landlords run a fresh tenant screening to check for changes in credit, eviction filings, or criminal background. Tenant Screening Background Check has been verifying renters since 2004 — credit, eviction, criminal, and employment, all with no monthly fees.
