As we approach the end of the year, we wanted to make sure you’re informed about a crucial upcoming change that might impact you or your clients in the City of Denver.
Upcoming Rental Licensing Requirements: Starting January 1, 2024, the City of Denver mandates that all single-unit residential rental properties have a license. To break it down:
- Which properties are affected? The license is required for single-family homes for rent or multi-unit properties like a triplex, where just one of the units is for rent.
- Why this regulation? Denver’s latest initiative aims to ensure that all rental properties adhere to specific safety, habitability, and legal standards. This move promises a better-protected environment for tenants and a standardized operation for owners.
Your Role and Next Steps:
Educate Your Clients: It’s imperative that your clients, whether current or potential landlords, are made aware of this change. This is especially relevant for those considering entering the rental market in 2024.
Advocate Early Application: Encourage your clients to start their licensing application ahead of the Jan 1, 2024 deadline. Proactivity now can prevent potential complications and penalties later.
