General maximum2 monthly rent payments
Established by SB23-184.
Current 2026 statusStill applicable
A 2026 post-closing-occupancy exception was enacted to take effect January 1, 2027, so it does not change the ordinary 2026 rule.
Separate pet deposit rule
Colorado’s official renters-rights summary also describes a separate refundable pet security-deposit cap. Because pet-related rules have their own definitions and exceptions, RentBillCheck will treat pet deposits as a separate topic rather than combining them with the general cap.
Scope matters. This page summarizes statewide sources for ordinary residential rentals. Mobile-home rules, local ordinances and special housing programs can differ.
