HB25-1004 – (No Pricing Coordination Between Landlords.) A hearing has been set in the Business Affairs & Labor Committee upon adjournment on 1/29/25 in HCR 0112.
Ex. Summary: House Bill 25-1004 aims to prevent rent price manipulation by prohibiting landlords from coordinating rental prices through third-party “coordinators.” The bill bans explicit or tacit agreements between landlords to set, adjust, or manipulate rent prices, classifying such actions as violations of the Colorado State Antitrust Act of 2023. Tenants are empowered to file complaints if they suspect anti-competitive practices. Additionally, the Division of Housing is required to educate the public on these new protections. If unchallenged, the law takes effect 90 days after adjournment of the General Assembly; if contested, it will be subject to voter approval in November 2026. This legislation promotes market fairness, transparency, and tenant rights in Colorado’s rental market.
Status: Hearing set in Business Affairs & Labor, Upon Adjournment, HCR 0112
SB25-020 – (Tenant and Landlord Law Enforcement, Concerning the enforcement of existing landlord-tenant law.) The bill was introduced in the Senate and assigned to the Judiciary Committee. There are no hearings set for this legislation at this time.
Ex Summary: Senate Bill 25-020 strengthens enforcement of landlord-tenant laws in Colorado by granting new enforcement powers and introducing receivership mechanisms for noncompliant properties. The Attorney General, counties, and municipalities can independently initiate legal actions against landlords for violations related to tenant protections and property maintenance. The bill establishes a receivership process for multifamily properties with unresolved health or safety violations, allowing a court-appointed receiver to manage the property, remediate issues, and ensure compliance. Tenants retain legal rights in possession actions, and property owners remain financially responsible. The law takes effect 90 days after adjournment unless challenged via referendum, in which case it will be subject to voter approval in November 2026. This legislation aims to enhance tenant protections and improve housing conditions through stronger legal enforcement.
