Colorado Pet Addendum

This Colorado pet addendum lets a tenant keep named animals on an existing lease. Colorado generally caps a security deposit at 2× monthly rent. A pet deposit usually counts toward that cap. Assistance animals required by fair-housing law are not pets and cannot be charged a pet deposit or pet rent. It does not replace the lease, and it does not apply to assistance animals.

• Colorado’s two-month security-deposit cap generally includes pet deposits (Colo. Rev. Stat. § 38-12-102.5).
• Unused deposit money is generally due within 30 days (Colo. Rev. Stat. §§ 38-12-102.5, 38-12-103).
• Assistance animals are not pets. Do not use this addendum to charge a deposit or rent for one.
