A sublease is an arrangement where an existing tenant (the sublessor) rents their unit — or part of it — to a new person (the subtenant) while the original lease remains in effect. In Colorado, most leases require written landlord approval before subleasing.
Key Rules for Colorado Subleases
- Check your lease first: Most leases prohibit subleasing or require written landlord consent
- Get it in writing: Always obtain written landlord approval before executing a sublease
- Original tenant stays liable: You remain fully responsible to the landlord for rent, damage, and lease compliance regardless of what your subtenant does
- Screen your subtenant: Run a background and credit check — you're on the hook if they default
- Match your lease end date: The sublease cannot extend beyond your original lease term
Sublease vs. Lease Assignment
A sublease keeps the original tenant on the hook — you remain liable. A lease assignment transfers your entire lease to a new tenant, removing you from the obligation (with landlord consent). Assignments are less common and require the landlord's explicit written approval.
⚖ Legal Disclaimer
