Video Summary
Colorado landlords may not withhold security deposits for normal wear and tear, but may deduct for damage, unpaid rent, or other lawful charges. Normal use over time—such as carpet wear, fading paint, or minor scuffs—is generally not chargeable. Pet damage, accidental fixture damage, and other tenant-caused harm may be deducted if properly documented with photos, invoices, or estimates. The key distinction is whether the condition resulted from ordinary occupancy or from damage beyond typical use. Careful inspections and detailed records help landlords make lawful deductions and avoid wrongful withholding disputes.
