Property Management

A Colorado lease agreement can limit the tenant's occupancy to only the named tenants. Permitting additional occupants without the landlord's consent may constitute:

ANormal use of the rental property
BA lease violation that could justify eviction proceedings✓ Correct
COnly an issue if additional occupants pay rent
DNo violation since landlords cannot control who lives in a unit

Explanation

If a lease limits occupancy to named tenants and the tenant allows additional unauthorized occupants without consent, this may constitute a material lease violation. Landlords may enforce occupancy restrictions provided they comply with fair housing laws (occupancy standards must not discriminate based on familial status).
