Broomfield is a unique city-and-county jurisdiction in the Denver-Boulder metro area. Despite its distinct combined city-county status, renter protections in Broomfield come entirely from Colorado state law — the city has not adopted local rent regulations or additional tenant ordinances. State law provides important protections on security deposits, habitability, anti-retaliation, and eviction procedure.
Broomfield has no rent control. Colorado state law prohibits all municipalities from enacting rent control ordinances. Landlords in Broomfield may raise rent by any amount, but for month-to-month tenancies they must give at least 91 days' written notice before the new rent takes effect or before terminating the tenancy (C.R.S. § 13-40-107).
All Broomfield renters have the following rights under Colorado state law:
Under C.R.S. § 38-12-103, a Broomfield landlord must return your security deposit within 30 days of move-out (or 60 days if your written lease specifically permits the longer period), along with a written itemized statement of deductions. Wrongful withholding can cost the landlord three times the withheld amount plus your attorney's fees. Document your unit's condition at move-in and move-out with dated photos and a written walkthrough checklist.
Broomfield landlords must follow Colorado's eviction process: provide written notice (typically 10 days for nonpayment of rent), allow the notice period to run, and then file an eviction action in Broomfield County Court if the tenant has not complied. For ending a month-to-month tenancy, at least 91 days' written notice is required (C.R.S. § 13-40-107). Tenants have the right to contest the eviction in court. Self-help evictions including lockouts, utility shutoffs, and property removal are all illegal.
