Renters Rights

Know Your Rights

Not “knowing” your leasing terms will not excuse you from violating your leasing terms. Non-compliance with terms of your lease can lead to eviction. Each apartment home/complex may have unique leasing terms and understanding these terms can ensure compliance with the lease.

When a landlord can enter your apartment:

  • In an emergency
  • When you have moved out or have abandoned the apartment
  • To make necessary/agreed upon repairs or other improvements
  • To show the apartment to prospective residents, purchasers, or lenders
  • To provide entry to contractors
  • To conduct an initial inspection before the end of the tenancy as allowed by law
  • If a court permits it

The landlord must give you reasonable advance notice before entering your apartment unless notice is not required by your lease under certain circumstances.

Roommate Resources

Find a Roommate

Please use the Off-Campus Housing & Roommate Database​ to post your roommate profile and search other CU Denver student profiles. The database is only accessible to CU Denver students. You will be required to login using your CU Denver student information.

For any additional questions or concerns please feel free to email CommuterServices@ucdenver.edu. Please note the Office of Commuter Services does not endorse any particular roommate and encourages students to read the below resources prior to selecting a roommate.

Discussions to Have Before Moving In Together

There are several discussions that may be helpful for potential roommates to have before committing to living together. Having these discussions may help cut down on miscommunications and stress after move-in.​ Before looking for a roommate you should consider the pros, cons, and your needs (this is different than wants).
