Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Consumers can sue over deceptive pricing
For conduct beginning January 1, 2026, people harmed by pricing violations can sue to stop them and recover actual damages, costs, and reasonable attorney fees. No written demand or other pre-suit step is required. In residential or commercial rental disputes, a person with a good-faith claim can send a written demand for payment and an end to violations. Failure to pay in full or stop charging that person and similarly situated people within 14 days after receipt triggers additional liability. The violator owes actual damages plus 18% yearly interest, compounded annually, alongside other available remedies.
New limits on fees for renters
Beginning January 1, 2026, landlords and agents cannot charge tenants for property taxes, common-area maintenance, landlord duties, or goods and services not provided. They also cannot charge late fees on non-rent amounts, fees above the disclosed total price, or payment-processing fees without a reasonably accessible free payment method. Covered fees cannot rise more than 2% during rental agreements of one year or less; utility costs are exempt from this increase cap. Utility charges cannot exceed the provider's charge, except for legally allowed allocations; written leases can allow third-party service markups capped at either 2% of the billed amount or $10 per month, but not both. Written leases cannot require charges that violate the pricing rules, while landlords retain the right to reasonable attorney fees awarded by a court under existing law.
Clearer prices and fees for shoppers
Beginning January 1, 2026, Colorado sellers must show the maximum total price as one clear number, more prominently than other prices. This includes required and reasonably unavoidable charges; government charges and shipping are excluded unless the seller includes them. Before customers agree to pay, sellers must explain excluded charges, including their purpose, refundability, what they cover, and who receives them; misleading price information is banned. Alternative compliance paths cover unknown prices with disclosed pricing factors, mandatory fees, and notice that totals vary; specified federal financial rules; compliant broadband labels; and food establishments that disclose service charges and distribute them only to nonmanagerial employees. Additional exceptions cover federal preemption, qualifying real estate settlement fees other than broker fees, and actual dwelling-unit utility costs. The act's January 1, 2026 start date is subject to referendum: a petition filed within 90 days after final adjournment delays it until voter approval in November 2026 and the governor's official vote declaration.
