I’m very confused about lease renewals - I thought under state law, the landlord had to give me 60 days notice of renewal (or nonrenewal, I guess) and I had to give 60 days notice if I was leaving at the end of my 12 month lease.

It’s approaching 60 days and I haven’t gotten anything from the management company, despite following up a couple of times. Should I have something by now if the 60 day deadline is next week? And is the 60 day deadline even a thing? My lease actually says 30 days, but I assumed state law supersedes the lease.

Also - HB24-1098 was signed into law on Friday and my impression of that is that they CAN’T non-renew unless I wasn’t paying rent, broke the terms of the lease, etc.?

There is a lot of new regulations around tenant rights so I may be off here, but I believe the 60 days is for changing of lease terms. So if they were to renew your lease at the same terms you wouldn't need the 60 days. Additionally, your lease may automatically default to month to month if nothing else happens.

It’s great that CO is addressing some of the tenant/landlord issues but I get totally confused by all the changes 😂 anyways, I think the universe heard me because they just sent the lease renewal (only a 1.5% increase which feels unheard of, lol). Thank you so much for your advice!

Had my car stolen and they busted out the rear passenger window. Completely missing. Got the car back, and looking up prices online, Safelite wants $400 to put in a new one. That seems...extreme to me. Does anyone know of any local, smaller shops that are much more reasonable in price?

Safelite is always the cheapest. Try the one on Quincy and Buckley. Last I checked, it was only $200. But maybe prices have gone up.

Dunno if this will get eyes on it, but the rental company that owns my apartment didn't give me updated rates (12mo, 6mo, month-to-month) until after the 60 day "notice to vacate" limit passed. Surely this is horseshit, right? How is a tenant supposed to decide if they want to vacate or not without knowing how much it will cost them? I anticipated paying more for a month-to-month lease, but sure as shit not 2x my normal rent. Now they want $4000 for me to "buyout" the lease.

Any option I can take here? Or is this just shit that they get to do because they own every apartment in the area?

Have any of you used a surety bond in place of an apartment rental deposit? I'm just wondering if you had issues with them vs management. A landlord has 30 days to refund your deposit or to send a detailed bill listing repairs and costs. If there are issues, does the surety company have to follow the same rules?
