Colorado renters

Verify legal compliance easily

Before You Sign or Renew, Know What Your Lease Could Cost You.

Upload your lease and LeaseCheck checks it against Colorado rules, then gives you a plain-English read on confusing fees, risky clauses, and terms worth getting in writing. Where a clause needs a legal opinion, we point you to an attorney — so you can sign with confidence.

Why context matters

A lease is not always risky because of one clause. Sometimes the issue is context.

For example, a renewal lease showing a $0.00 security deposit may be normal if you already paid a deposit. But you may still need to know whether your prior deposit is preserved and how it will be accounted for when you move out.

That is why LeaseCheck asks a few required questions before generating your report.

Your lease is a contract. Know what it says before you sign.

A sample finding

Renewal Deposit and Move-Out Accounting

Medium risk

This renewal lists a $0.00 security deposit line right next to move-out charge language. Separately from whether the $3,500 balance on file complies with the 2-month cap above, Colorado's deposit-accounting rules (C.R.S. § 38-12-103) still call for clarity on what is held and how deductions will be itemized at move-out.

Question to ask:

Can you confirm in writing the current balance of my security deposit and that it carries forward under this renewal?

Frequently asked questions

Is LeaseCheck a law firm? +

No. LeaseCheck is not a law firm. Our rules engine checks your lease against Colorado rules and gives you our own plain-English evaluation — but that is our read, not a legal opinion. For legal advice, we recommend a licensed attorney.

Can LeaseCheck tell me whether my lease is legal? +

We give you our evaluation of how your lease measures up against Colorado rules and flag clauses worth a closer look. We do not render a legal opinion on whether a clause is legal or enforceable — when that call is needed, we point you to a licensed attorney.

Can I use LeaseCheck after I already signed? +

Yes. It can help you understand your lease, prepare for renewal, organize move-out questions, or decide whether to seek legal review.

Does LeaseCheck work for renewals? +

Yes. LeaseCheck is especially useful for renewals because context matters. A renewal can include changed fees, new addenda, altered utility billing, or unclear deposit accounting.

What happens to my lease file? +

Your lease is used to generate your report. Our Privacy page explains storage, deletion, and security practices in plain language.
