Colorado's Rental Application Fairness Act bars landlords from considering rental history or credit information older than seven years, and caps what they may charge to run a screening. Colorado also protects source of income statewide. These are real advantages for Denver renters — but the seven-year window still captures most recent filings, and nothing in the statute obliges a landlord to approve you once they have looked. A recent eviction inside that window remains a routine denial.
That is the gap this program is built for. Nothing about your record changes — instead, your record stops being the thing under review. When the applicant on the lease is a company with its own credit file and lease references, the automated screen that would have rejected you never runs against your name.
