Landlord access to rental property

[Brian Jackson]

I have been doing some research on the Tenant/Landlord statues for the state of Colorado and am I to believe there are no statutes regarding notice of access?  I've seen for some other states there are statutes that mandate a certain amount of notice, while some others just say "reasonable notice."  However, nothing for Colorado at all.  Perhaps there are some Denver city/county laws regarding this?

@Brian Jackson I was curious about this and looked it up online and this was what I found on the link below. Hope this helps.

Privacy

While not required by statute, reasonable notice by the landlord for access to the rental property

should be addressed in the lease. A commonly used privacy clause allows a landlord access to the

rental property at reasonable times and with reasonable notice to the tenant to make necessary repairs

or reasonable inspections. Additionally, a landlord has the right to enter a rental unit without notice in

emergencies. (An example of an emergency might be an apartment flooding after the hot water heater

breaks.) If a lease does not include a written clause specifying when the landlord can enter a

rental property, a tenant has exclusive use of the property and does not have to allow the landlord

access. However, if a tenant refuses to allow the landlord entry, the tenant assumes all liability for

damages and repairs to the rental unit, as well as consequential damage to other units.
