Colorado's tenant protection laws changed dramatically in 2024 and 2026. Free guides — written by a Colorado tenant attorney — on what the law actually says and what you can do when a landlord isn't following it.

Before I opened Prompt Counsel, I spent years representing both landlords and tenants in Colorado civil litigation. I handled evictions from the landlord's side. I've seen lease agreements, habitability disputes, security deposit fights — from both chairs.
What struck me wasn't that landlords were always bad actors. Most weren't. What struck me was how consistently tenants didn't know their rights — and how consistently that gap got exploited, sometimes intentionally, often just because the information wasn't accessible.
"A landlord who keeps a security deposit illegally usually counts on the tenant not knowing the law. A tenant who knows about treble damages is a fundamentally different situation."
I built this Resource Center because I believe access to basic legal information shouldn't require hiring an attorney. These guides explain the law clearly, for free. If you read them and you still need help — that's what we're here for.
Colorado has some of the strongest tenant protection laws in the country right now. My job is to make sure tenants know that — and know how to use it.
