Colorado Guest & occupancy limits
Guest & occupancy limits in Colorado
A full-text search of C.R.S. title 38, article 12 (Tenants and Landlords), official 2026 Colorado Revised Statutes, found no statewide numeric occupancy cap or guest-stay limit that applies to ordinary residential tenancies. For mobile home parks, C.R.S. § 38-12-214 treats park rules that restrict who may visit the mobile home or who may reside there, or that impose resident occupancy limits stricter than applicable federal, state, and local occupancy laws, as rules that impose restrictions or requirements on the home owner's right to control what happens in or to the mobile home. A rule of that kind is presumed unreasonable under § 38-12-214(1)(c) unless management demonstrates that the rule is strictly necessary to protect the health and safety of park residents and provides that protection at the lowest expense to home owners as is reasonably possible; is strictly necessary to comply with or enforce a federal, state, or local government requirement, including local nuisance laws enforced for the welfare of other residents; is voluntarily agreed to by the home owner, without coercion or misrepresentation by management, in which case it binds only home owners who have communicated their written consent; or, in a park managed by home owners, was established by the managing home owner organization in accordance with its bylaws and more than fifty percent of the home owners are members of the organization. Subsection (2)(c) does not preclude a landlord from conducting any lawful screening of a rental application. Separately, § 38-12-223 requires a mobile home park landlord to retain, throughout the tenancy and for twelve months after it ends, a record of each request from the home owner or resident relating to guests, roommates, occupants, co-lessees, or sub-lessees, including whether the landlord approved or disapproved the request. Other laws, including local occupancy ordinances, may still apply.
