CO SB126

Tenants in residential rental properties may install Level 1 or Level 2 electric vehicle charging systems at their own expense, subject to safety, registration, and aesthetic requirements set by landlords.

Landlords may only charge tenants for actual electricity costs, reasonable access fees, installation costs if landlord-placed, or reasonable fees for reserved parking spots; no other fees are permitted.

Unit owners in common interest communities (HOAs/condos) may install Level 1 or Level 2 charging systems in their units without assessment or fees, except for actual electricity costs or reasonable access fees.

Associations must consent to charging system installation on limited common elements (parking spaces, carports, garages) if systems comply with applicable requirements and unit owners carry insurance naming the association as additional insured.

Charging systems installed at tenant or owner expense are their property; upon lease termination or unit sale, they may remove the system or sell it to the landlord/association/new buyer for an agreed price.
