April 29, 2019
At Background Information Services, Inc. (BIS), we strive to provide you with important updates to local, state and federal laws and requirements. (Please note that BIS is not a law firm, and cannot provide legal advice.) On April 25, 2019, Colorado Governor Jared Polis signed�House Bill 19-1106.�This bill may impact how you are currently managing prospective tenants. Therefore, BIS strongly encourages that you review the bill, and consult with an attorney or legal department to determine how to adjust your policies.� The bill can be found at https://leg.colorado.gov/bills/hb19-1106. Items of note in this bill:
  • Limits to the 'how much and why' of rental application fees.
  • Restrictions to the data a landlord may consider when reviewing rental, credit, or criminal history for each application.
