Understanding Colorado ESA Housing Rights

Navigating landlord rules can be stressful, but federal and state laws protect your right to live with your emotional support animal. In Colorado, landlords are legally required to provide "reasonable accommodations" for tenants with valid ESA documentation.

The Official Law

Colorado law requires landlords to accommodate ESAs. Notably, Colorado has passed laws penalizing individuals who fraudulently misrepresent an animal as an assistance animal, so legitimate documentation is critical.

Citation: C.R.S. § 24-34-502

What Landlords Cannot Do in Colorado:

  • Charge you upfront pet deposits or monthly "pet rent".
  • Deny your application based solely on the breed or weight of your animal.
  • Require your animal to have specific training (ESAs are not Service Dogs).
  • Ask for detailed medical records regarding your specific diagnosis.
