Frequently asked questions
Common questions about Denver rental licensing and our services.
Do I need a Denver rental license for my house or condo?
Most long-term rental homes, condos, ADUs, and small multi-unit properties in the City and County of Denver require a residential rental license if they are leased to tenants. We help owners confirm whether their property is covered and handle the licensing steps if it is.
What happens if I rent without a Denver rental license?
Renting without a required Denver rental license can expose owners to warnings, fines, and enforcement from the City of Denver. Our goal is to help owners become compliant before issues arise by coordinating inspections and completing the city application correctly.
How much does the Denver rental license cost?
The total cost includes city license fees and inspection fees set by your chosen inspector. Our service fee is a flat $100 for the first rental at a property and $50 for each additional rental at the same address, separate from city and inspection fees.
How long does the Denver rental license process take?
Timelines vary based on inspector availability and city review time. Many applications are completed within 4-8 weeks once inspection and paperwork are ready, but we cannot guarantee a specific approval date. We keep owners updated at each major step.
Can you help if I already started my Denver rental license application?
Yes. We can often step in after an application has been started to help organize documents, respond to city questions, and coordinate any follow-up inspections or corrections needed to finish the process.
Can one inspection report cover multiple rentals at the same address?
In many cases, a single inspection visit can cover multiple rental units at the same property if the inspector evaluates each unit as required by the city. We help coordinate this approach when it makes sense and matches Denver's rules.
Do you work with property managers as well as individual owners?
Yes. We can work directly with individual owners or partner with property managers who want a consistent process for licensing multiple rentals across their portfolio.
Are you a law firm or property manager?
No. We are not a law firm and do not provide legal advice, and we do not manage tenants or maintenance. We provide administrative support only, focused on helping owners complete Denver's rental licensing requirements.
