Colorado residential lease agreement
Download the October 2026 Colorado Residential Lease Agreement for houses, apartments, condos, and other residential rentals. The packet includes a complete editable DOCX, a true fillable PDF, the Colorado radon disclosure in Word and fillable PDF, federal lead-based paint materials, and an optional completed sample.
A practical Colorado lease packet built to document the rental relationship, current deposit and notice rules, disclosure obligations, and clean completion in your own PDF reader or on paper.
The lease addresses the two-month security-deposit cap and the 60-day itemized return (C.R.S. §§ 38-12-102.5 and 38-12-103), the late-fee limit (C.R.S. § 38-12-105), the warranty of habitability and the required English and Spanish contact statement (C.R.S. § 38-12-505), for-cause and limited no-fault termination (C.R.S. § 38-12-1303), and source-of-income protections (C.R.S. § 24-34-502). The packet includes the separate radon disclosure the tenant signs (C.R.S. § 38-12-803). The current CDPHE brochure is not in this packet. Download it and give it with the disclosure before the tenant signs the lease.
Download the files, customize the lease in Word or type directly into the fillable PDF fields in your own PDF reader, and keep a signed copy for your records.
Use the editable DOCX with click-to-fill controls, or open the true fillable PDF in your own PDF reader and type directly into the form fields — no online interview or ILRG account required; both print cleanly for signing.
This product includes the sublease/sublet agreement files listed below. Use the Word files to customize your lease terms, or open the fillable PDF in your own PDF reader and type directly into the form fields — no online interview or ILRG account required.
Self-help lease overview
A written Colorado residential lease helps document the landlord, tenant, premises, county, term, rent, security deposit, utilities, repairs, disclosures, rules, and signatures for a rental property. This agreement captures the key deal terms in a front Data Schedule before the numbered sections.
This packet includes the Colorado Residential Lease Agreement in editable DOCX and true fillable PDF, the Colorado radon disclosure in Word and fillable PDF, and the federal lead-based paint materials listed below for pre-1978 housing. The current CDPHE brochure is not in this packet. Download it and give it with the disclosure before the tenant signs.
Review the completed lease and any municipal, deed-restricted, subsidized-housing, association, or property-specific requirements before signing. ILRG provides self-help legal forms and information, not legal advice.
This page highlights the current downloadable Colorado residential lease packet: a complete editable DOCX, a true fillable PDF, the Colorado radon disclosure in Word and fillable PDF, and federal lead-based paint materials. The lease uses a front Data Schedule and a fixed-term or month-to-month election. A completed sample of the lease and the disclosure is available as an add-on. The current CDPHE brochure is not in this packet. Download it and give it with the disclosure.
Colorado does not have a residential sublease statute, but Colorado guidance and case law recognize that, unless the lease prohibits subleasing, a landlord may not unreasonably withhold consent to a suitable subtenant.
If your lease requires consent, request it in writing and keep the response with your records. If your lease prohibits subleasing, do not rely on a sublease unless the landlord separately approves it.

Most leases require written landlord consent before subletting. Review the original lease and obtain any required approval before using the completed sublease agreement.
The original tenant commonly remains responsible to the landlord unless the landlord separately releases them. The sublease documents the subtenant arrangement, but it does not automatically end the original tenant’s obligations under the main lease.
No. ILRG provides self-help legal forms and information, not legal advice. You are responsible for reviewing the completed sublease, original lease, and landlord-consent requirements before signing.
If the lease does not prohibit subleasing and landlord consent is required, Colorado guidance recognizes that consent may not be unreasonably withheld. A lease can still prohibit subleasing, so read the lease first.
