Property ManagementIntermediateColorado Exam

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 proceedingsCorrect
COnly an issue if additional occupants pay rent
DNo violation since landlords cannot control who lives in a unit

Why A lease violation that could justify eviction proceedings Is Correct

Answer B: A lease violation that could justify eviction proceedings

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).
