Join ZAP on December 5th!
Join the Inter Neighborhood Cooperation (INC) Zoning & Planning Group for our 2nd community forum of 2023!
When: Tuesday, December 5th
Where: Online (Zoom Link)
Time: 6:30-8pm
Topic: Landlord Requirements and Tenants Rights

Happy Fall!
Come join us at the final ZAP meeting for 2023. It was a short year for the committee though we will be ending with a great meeting! Come learn about Denver’s new landlord license requirement needed for ANY rental in the city, short or long term, and about the expanded tenants’ rights in the state.
Landlord License Requirement– If you own an apartment building, duplex or even a single-family residence in Denver and rent it out long term (more than 30+ consecutive days), you need a residential rental license starting in 2024. You will learn about everything you need to do to prepare all the documents, how and where to get an inspection, what the application looks like and what the fees are. Make sure you are compliant before 2024 arrives!
Short Term Rental License– Renting out your primary residence on Airbnb or VRBO? A short-term rental is one that is rented for 1 to 29 days and also requires a license in Denver. There have been some updates to the requirements for a short-term rental license, come learn all about all the changes and what you need to do to be compliant.
Updated Tenant’s Rights– If you are a renter in Denver, come get informed about all of your rights. Think you don’t have a lot of rights as a renter? Wrong! You have many rights including habitability and a minimum standard of your home. If you have questions about your rights as a tenant in Denver, we will have a lawyer from Colorado Poverty Law Project to answer any question you have.

Come and join others interested in all things Zoning and Planning going on in and around Denver! As we plan the meetings for 2024, we would love your input on what you are interested in hearing about in 2024. Come and share your ideas with us at our final meeting of 2023.
Everyone is welcome! Attendees do not need to be INC delegates. You are welcome to participate even if your neighborhood organization is not a member of INC, or you are not active in a neighborhood group. Please pass on this invitation to anyone who might be interested in joining the committee.
