HB 25-1092: Rent Increases by Landlord to Tenant

• Rent increases in new rental agreements are deemed reasonable for no-fault eviction purposes if the landlord sets rent based on fair market rent, evidenced by comparable property rental amounts
• Landlords may initiate no-fault eviction when tenants refuse to sign a new lease with reasonable terms, provided they give at least 90 days notice to vacate
• Rent increases are not considered discriminatory, retaliatory, or unconscionable if the landlord demonstrates the increase aligns with fair market rent and the property could be rented at that rate to a new tenant in an arm's-length transaction
• Effective 90 days after final adjournment of the general assembly, unless a referendum petition is filed, in which case it would go to voters in November 2026
