CO HB1035

Prohibits landlords from including lease provisions that authorize termination or penalties on tenants for calling police or emergency services in response to domestic violence, domestic abuse, unlawful sexual behavior, or stalking.

Allows tenants who are victims of unlawful sexual behavior, stalking, domestic violence, or domestic abuse to terminate their lease and vacate without further obligation if they provide written notice and evidence (police report within 60 days, valid protection order, or written statement from medical professional or application assistant).

Requires tenants who break leases under this provision to pay one month's rent within 90 days of vacating, with landlords unable to withhold security deposits until payment is received; landlord obligation applies only if documented damages equal at least one month's rent.

Prohibits landlords from evicting tenants solely because they are victims of unlawful sexual behavior, stalking, domestic violence, or domestic abuse.

Restricts landlord disclosure of victim status or forwarding addresses to third parties without victim consent, except as required by law; defines relevant crimes and introduces "application assistant" and "medical professional" as acceptable sources for victim documentation.
