Colorado Lease Agreement

The purpose of the Residential Lease Agreement is to facilitate the transfer of the Lease Agreement between the Residential Tenancy Branch and the Transfer Agent. The Residential Lease Agreement has been prepared to reflect the Transfer Agent's and Branch's respective rights and duties and obligations under this Act and the Transfer Document. The Residential Lease Agreement does not limit or create any rights for the Residential Tenancy Branch. In this Part: “Transfer Office” means the office described in section 38 of the Act; “Transfer Document” means a written transfer document of a lease relating to the lease term or terms of the Lease; “Transfer Office” is to be substituted for the term “Transfer Agent” as specified in section 13 of the Act; “Transfer Agreement” means a copy of the Transfer Document in which the terms of the Lease have been fully set out and the requirements of the Act have been set out; and, in the case of a Residential Tenancy Branch Lease, the document as a whole. How does the Residential Lease Agreement determine the term and conditions of the Lease Transfer Period? This section sets out the terms that are subject to a transfer of a Lease Agreement. The term and condition of the Transfer Period and the amount of rent to be paid are established by the Residential Lease Agreement. Therefore, the Residential Lease Agreement must include an adjustment to the rent and the amount of rent determined for the period in which a person's legal residence was in the city of Vancouver from the date on which the Residential Lease Agreement commences until the date on which the person's legal residence passes or ceases to hold a legal residence in the city of Vancouver. This adjustment relates to the rate of the rent in accordance with the terms of the Residential Lease and the applicable provisions of the Act. The Residential Lease Agreement must include at least three different rent schedules and this must be in accordance with the provisions set out in section 11(2) in the Act. This section sets out the three different rates of rent for each period, i.e. month, week and day.

What is a CO Residential Lease for? What types of people can lease from a CCO? What is a CCO Residential Lease? 1. What is a CO Residential Lease? CO Residential Leasing (CCO) is a leasing option provided by Pantalone for homeowners who do not have housing of their own. The Pantalone program offers a simple, flat-rate fee of 30 per month, payable every 12 months. CO Residential Leases are for new homeowners looking to start a small, low-cost rental property, and allow homeowners in certain market areas to rent out their properties to others, such as retirees, for short-term rental. What does it mean to receive a CCO? A CCO is a unique opportunity for homeowners looking for access to the rental segment of the market. CCS are available for new residential properties, so there is less need to negotiate down the price of a property at a closing prior to placing an offer. For property owners, a CCO allows many of the services that they are typically paying for, such as insurance, maintenance and utility bills at the time of approval. 2. What types of homes can I lease from a CCO? A CCO can be obtained for a newly constructed single dwelling or a multi-family rental property. The types of homes eligible for a CCO typically fall into one of two categories: residential and non-residential. Residential, as defined above, is defined as any one-to-five dwelling units located within a development. The total of such units cannot exceed 20% of the total retail units within the development. Non-residential CCS are similar to those for residential properties, except that they are located outside a development. They are subject to some regulatory restrictions imposed by law. For example, a non-residential CCO would not be eligible for financing from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) or any form of government loan guarantee or program. A non-residential CCO must be suitable, in accordance with local building codes, for at least the following: A. Four residential dwelling units must be on the same lot. B. All 4 units, including the 2 master bedroom units must have adequate indoor spaces for sleeping and living. C.

The leasing officer will then contact you on a weekly basis to update you on when you will be granted possession of the house (if any) and any other pertinent information. This process will normally take place within the first week in April of the first year in your lease term.

We received a little under 2,000 rental applications last year. Of those, only 2 were rejected because of a lack of available housing — so there is plenty of rental housing available in the Vancouver area. What about new applications? About 300 or so a month. How many applications were approved? We approve the applications that meet the minimum qualifications set by the BC Ministry of Housing. Our criteria are fairly basic — we check references, read the application, evaluate the rental market and decide if the rental unit is right for you. There are a very few people who get out and try for a unit and get rejected, and that happens in all regions of Canada. However, for any given region of any Canadian jurisdiction, there will always be a large enough pool of applicants to meet the standards for rental application approvals. Are your criteria the same across Canada? Only those that we approve as new applicants. There are no geographical or other restrictions to where applicants may apply or move their units to. We do not look at applicants to ensure they don't have roommates and do not try to place prospective tenants on waiting lists based on their household income. What is the process like for approval? Applicants do not have to complete any paperwork or sign any contracts in order to be approved. They just need to show us the information provided on their application, which is typically a rental application form. Once approved, we will hold their place on our waiting lists for a few months until they have a chance to look for further housing. There are a lot of renters in Vancouver waiting for a place to rent. For those who get approved, they are then notified of their status in person. Are there any rental-only options available? Yes — there are many units available. A number of other municipalities in BC have a similar program which may be more cost-effective. If we are able to find housing for you, we will try to match that with a landlord that is able to offer you the unit. What are some things to keep in mind when entering into a rental agreement? Most apartment rental agreements can be broken either with one month's notice (30 days to 2 weeks for a one-year lease) or if the condition of the unit or the landlord changes so quickly that the tenant does not have a chance to inspect, review and rent the unit in a reasonable time.

The application is based on a 30-day minimum lease. If you have a lease with more than 30 days, you must fill out the lease application and submit it to the property manager(s) in your area. What options are available for a CO Residential Lease agreement? There are two options available: Option 1 : The landlord or tenant can sign the initial agreement in the lease agreement form and bring it to the landlord/property manager in the following order: 1. The Landlord and Manager. Your Landlord/Manager: Address: ____ Business/Location: ____ Telephone Number:________ 2. The Lease Application. The application must be obtained from your Property Manager/Manager at least 7 calendar days prior to the lease starting, or within 7 calendar days of the date when you will take your rental. What are the rental fees for a CO Residential Lease Agreement? The fee will be listed in the lease agreement. It will be based on the rent for the month you are starting to occupy your unit, whether there is a contract or no contract, and the term and length of your lease. To be more precise, the charges for the period of lease will be: 1. Your monthly payments for the full lease term: If no contract: 35 per rental month (this includes security deposit and first month's rent for the full lease term) If there is a contract for a term greater than the rent for the full lease term: 125 per month 1 year, rent: 365.00 per month 2 year, rent: 475.00 per month Is there a non-refundable security deposit for a CO Residential Lease Agreement? The landlord/tenant's security deposit must be non-refundable. You must request and sign for it. If I am renting for a specific term, am I responsible for keeping your property clean and free of insects and rodents? Yes. Your liability for keeping your property clean and free of insects and rodents is limited to the amount of rent you are paying yourself for the space and is based on the nature and extent of the property (including cleaning).
