Bill > HB1196

This bill, effective January 1, 2027, aims to increase transparency and protect renters' personal information in Colorado. It requires landlords to inform prospective tenants about the types of data they will access during a tenant screening, including general factors like credit history, rental history, income, and criminal background, and to disclose if they use a third-party screening service. Additionally, landlords must comply with court rules to protect and redact sensitive personal identifying information, such as Social Security numbers, birth dates, and financial account numbers, from eviction filings and supporting documents that might become public, while still allowing for confidential submission if required by a court.
