Property Management
A Colorado property manager who manages a mixed-use building (retail on ground floor, residential above) must comply with:
AA. Only residential landlord-tenant laws
BB. Both commercial lease law for retail tenants and residential landlord-tenant law for residential tenants✓ Correct
CC. Only commercial lease law
DD. No specific legal requirements
Explanation
In a mixed-use building, the property manager must apply the appropriate legal framework to each type of tenancy: Colorado's residential landlord-tenant statutes govern the residential units, while commercial leases are governed by general contract law (with more negotiation flexibility). Different rules apply to security deposits, notice requirements, and eviction procedures.
