that’s been advanced by lawmakers in recent weeks as Gov. Jared Polis and the Democratic majorities in the Capitol work to address housing access and affordability.
“Colorado renters should be able to expect if they pay their rent each month and do not violate the terms of their lease agreement that they cannot be evicted,” said Rep. Serena Gonzales-Gutierrez, who like Mabrey is a Denver Democrat and a co-sponsor of the bill. Republican Rep. Rick Taggart, of Grand Junction, said he was concerned the bill had gone too far in addressing the balance between landlords and tenants. That echoes criticism raised by other House Republicans of the broader Democratic push to reshape the landlord-tenant relationship.
“It just seems like the deck is stacked against us,” said Cleveland Smith, a Westminster resident. His wife, Monique Gant, testified that she was attacked and racially abused by her landlord after she asked for a copy of her lease and address other concerns she had.
