Colorado Subletting & assignment

Can a tenant sublet an apartment in Colorado?

C.R.S. title 38, art. 12 (official text, 2024 publication, full-text search on 2026-10-31) has no general provision on subletting or assigning a lease. One narrow mobile home park rule applies: under § 38-12-1404(2), when a seller owns more than one mobile home in the same park and is not the park landlord, the seller may not enter a rent-to-own contract unless the park rental agreement or a binding addendum specifically permits the seller to sublease and sell the home and the seller has met the park landlord's requirements for sublessees and sales. Otherwise the lease terms control unless another law applies. Local ordinances or other state or federal laws may still apply.
