Application

Thank you for your interest in applying for a property with Colorado and Company Real Estate, Inc. Colorado and Company Real Estate, Inc. has worked closely with its Owners/Landlords to prepare some general guidelines for you to consider, before applying for a property with our Company. We recognize that each situation, and applicant(s) is different, therefore each individual property owner has the final decision on which applicant(s) to approve for residency at his or her property**. We instruct our owners to look at the overall picture when making a decision. At Landlord’s discretion, Landlord may charge additional monies upfront at or prior to lease execution, in the form of an additional Security Deposit, or additional upfront Rent. Under Colorado law, prospective tenants have the right to provide landlords with a Portable Tenant Screening Report, as defined in 38-12-902 (2.5), Colorado Revised Statutes.  If a prospective tenant provides the Landlord with a Portable Tenant Screening Report, the Landlord is prohibited from: Charging the Prospective Tenant a Rental Application Fee; or Charging the Prospective Tenant a Fee for the Landlord to Access or Use the Portable Tenant Screening Report.

**Please keep in mind the approval of an application means the process of moving on to draft a lease to be presented to the applicant and landlord. It does not mean that you have fully secured the property. A property is considered leased once our company has a fully executed lease and funded security deposit.
Our lease is updated yearly and written by a top-notch law firm with your rights and property in mind.
