Aurora landlords must investigate tenant bed bug reports within 96 hours and treat infestations under Colorado HB19-1328, with tenants entitled to notice before adjacent units are inspected.
Colorado HB19-1328, the Bed Bugs in Residential Premises law, applies in Aurora. Landlords must respond to tenant bed bug reports within 96 hours by hiring a qualified pest inspector. Treatment of infested units must occur promptly, and adjacent units may be inspected with at least 48 hours written notice. Landlords cannot retaliate against tenants who report. Tenants must cooperate with inspection and treatment, including preparing units. Landlords may not charge tenants for treatment unless an arbitration finds the tenant caused the infestation. Aurora Code Enforcement and Colorado courts enforce. Anschutz Medical Campus area apartments see periodic outbreaks.
Landlord failure to respond within 96 hours allows tenants to break leases without penalty, recover damages, and pursue civil actions. Aurora Code Enforcement may also issue habitability citations.
