Loveland is a growing city in Larimer County along Colorado's northern Front Range. Like all Colorado cities, Loveland has no local rent control or additional tenant ordinances — renter protections come entirely from state law. Colorado's Warranty of Habitability Act, security deposit statute, and 91-day termination notice requirement together give Loveland renters a meaningful baseline of rights.
Loveland has no rent control, and Colorado state law bars any city or county from enacting one. Landlords may raise rent by any amount. For month-to-month tenancies, they must provide at least 91 days' written notice before a new rent amount takes effect or before terminating the tenancy (C.R.S. § 13-40-107) — one of the longest notice periods in the country.
All Loveland renters are covered by these Colorado state law protections:
Under C.R.S. § 38-12-103, your Loveland landlord must return your security deposit within 30 days of move-out (or 60 days if the written lease allows the longer period), along with a written itemized statement of any deductions. Wrongful withholding can result in you receiving three times the withheld amount plus attorney's fees. Always photograph your unit at move-in and move-out and keep copies of all communications with your landlord.
To evict a tenant in Loveland, a landlord must provide proper written notice — typically 10 days for nonpayment of rent — wait for the notice period to expire, and file an eviction action in Larimer County Court if the tenant remains. For ending a month-to-month tenancy without cause, 91 days' written notice is required (C.R.S. § 13-40-107). Tenants can appear and contest the action in court. Self-help evictions — lockouts, utility shutoffs, and removal of property — are illegal in Colorado.
