Below, we explore the details of the Colorado Tenant Audit Provision, its benefits, and different types of audits available. 1. Definition and Purpose: The Colorado Tenant Audit Provision grants tenants the right to examine their landlords' financial records related to property management, rent collection, expense allocation, repairs, and other monetary transactions. Its primary aim is to protect tenants' interests, maintain fairness in landlord-tenant relationships, and prevent potential exploitation. 2.

It enables tenants to verify proper handling, interest calculations, and timely return of the deposit, as mandated by the law. d) Property Management Fee Audit: Tenants may conduct a property management fee audit to confirm that only reasonable and agreed-upon management fees are charged by the landlord. This audit ensures that tenants are not paying excessive amounts for property management services.
