Hi John,
Your help is needed TODAY to support transformative reforms in this year’s state legislative session!
SB 21-173, Rights In Residential Lease Agreements prevents landlords from charging exorbitant late fees and enacts a number of critical eviction court reforms. The bill establishes penalties for illegal evictions and prohibits evictions over late fees alone.
The bill passed through the Senate, but not without a few hostile amendments that weakened a couple of provisions. We need to prevent the CO Apartment Association from hurting the bill any further, and to push House members to repeal the Senate amendments!
This bill is facing a committee hearing Thursday — please call committee members to voice your support for tenant rights! Please find a sample script and instructions here.
In Solidarity,
Denver DSA
