SB19-225 - Stop Rent Control from coming to Colorado!

[Firehaus]

That's not all... https://coloradosun.com/2019/04/02/c...iction-crisis/ apparently there are bills to in essence, let a tenant skip rent payments if they whine, and extend their eviction time frames, and provide them with legal help to fight eviction free. (Oh, but none for landlords, you're presumed to be a rich white guy who oppresses minorities and denies them their right to your land, you bastard Lord you)

Wow! I?ll update my original post with the other bills.

Statements like this are scary, ?She has heard dozens of stories about people who had an unexpected expense ? such as new tires ? and then couldn?t make rent, resulting in eviction. ?That is a common narrative ? losing your house led to everything spiraling out of control.?

How about walking, ride sharing or taking public transportation until you can save money for tires? Or maybe even, canceling your cable, quit buying alcohol or stop buying cigarettes? The amount of money I see wasted by tenants is incredible. People find the money to spend on what they want and make excuses for the late payments of obligations.

My experience in Jefferson County courts have not been lopsided towards the landlord.

Blatant lease breaking? Oh, its okay. The landlord will be okay. Oh, you have proof the deposit stated is incorrect from previous owner and the deposit on file is actually less? Not only will we allow the tenant to break a contract, we are awarding treble damages based on the stated deposit, not the actual. True story.

Horrible landlord?s out there for sure. I?m not one of them. I take pride in my properties putting money back into them to improving them. While not doing major rent increases on existing tenants, but getting the biggest rent gains on renovated units newly leased. Current tenants feel safer, more appreciated, and more value for the rent they are paying.

The small handful that need to be non-renewed or evicted are disturbing the other tenants and keeping better tenants from moving there.

So like usual, lets stand up for the small percentage of problem people who complain the most, while not considering the people who have to put up with them that tend to just complain to management. Sometimes begging for us to do something about it, but all we can do safely is non-renew the lease.
