Return security deposit with itemized statement within 30 days of move-out. Colorado landlords must return the deposit, with a written statement listing the exact reason for any amount kept, within 30 days after the lease ends or the tenant surrenders the premises, whichever is later (a lease can extend this to no more than 60 days), and missing the deadline or leaving out exact reasons forfeits the right to keep any of it and can lead to treble damages plus attorney fees and court costs.
