Portable screening made simple.
Verified once, shared many times.
Colorado renters first.

Colorado renters are learning this:

Renter protections work best before you apply.

Timing — not just knowing the rule — is what makes the law usable.
February 7, 2026 at 3:40 AM
In renting, learning happens through repetition.

After a few applications, renters start recognizing patterns — and that recognition turns experience into capability.
February 5, 2026 at 3:44 AM
In renting, transparency only works if it shows up early.

Colorado’s pricing law is meant to surface real costs before you apply — so decisions are made with full information.

That’s clarity in practice.
Colorado’s new pricing transparency law and what it means for renters
For years, renters have dealt with pricing that felt incomplete or misleading. A rent number up top. A long list of add-ons buried later. Colorado’s new pricing transparency law aims to change that.

In renting, Colorado law works in practice by allowing reuse.

Recent, valid screening = no restart every application.

Not approval — just fewer unnecessary resets.
January 31, 2026 at 3:40 AM
In renting:

Clarity = knowing the rules.

Capability = using them in real applications.

That’s when the system actually works.
January 29, 2026 at 3:44 AM
Intentional spending = knowing the reuse window.

Recent screening report

Limited time
Multiple applications
No repeat fees

Timing matters
January 28, 2026 at 2:02 AM
Colorado law limits repeat screening fees.

Valid portable report = screening already done

Approval still discretionary

Intentional spending has legal guardrails.
January 23, 2026 at 4:16 AM
Intentional spending ≠ fewer applications.

It means:
Pay once
Reuse verified info
Don’t start over every time

That’s renter-first.
January 23, 2026 at 3:16 AM
Denial ≠ always final.

Screening reports can have errors, and renters can review and dispute them.

Sometimes reading the system correctly means checking the data — not blaming yourself.

Colorado law governs screening process, not approval decisions.

Acceptance of a report ≠ approval.
Denial ≠ law violation.

Knowing that boundary helps renters read the system correctly.
January 22, 2026 at 3:44 AM
Most renting stress comes from misreading the system.

Silence ≠ rejection
Delay ≠ failure
Denial ≠ personal judgment

Clarity is learning the difference.

Renter-first isn’t a slogan.

It’s when:
– You don’t have to start over
– Fees aren’t a surprise
– The process makes sense
– Your info feels like it belongs to you

No guarantees. Just respect.

The PTSR law isn’t renter-first because it guarantees approval.

It’s renter-first because it:
– Limits duplicate fees
– Allows reuse of recent info
– Sets clearer expectations upfront

Guardrails > guarantees.

Renter-first isn’t a vibe or a tagline.

It’s:
Clarity before fees
No surprise steps
Respect for your time and info
Not guarantees — just a fair process.
What renter-first really means at Rentell
At Rentell, renter-first means something much simpler and much harder. It means starting from the renter’s point of view, then rebuilding the process so it feels fair, clear, and repeatable. Not…

Same background check. Another new fee. We’re building Rentell to explain why this happens — and how renters can avoid the rental reset.

Colorado renters can reuse a valid tenant screening report for 30 days. We’re building Rentell to explain how that works — clearly and simply.

Quick clarification for Colorado renters

Portable tenant screening reports are still a 30-day tool under state law.

HB25-1236 did not extend the window to 60 days, that claim came from summaries, not the statute.

Facts matter when timing matters.

How misinformation turned Colorado’s 30-day PTSR rule into a 60-day myth
Colorado law still allows property managers to require that a portable tenant screening report be completed within the previous 30 days. HB25-1236 did not extend the validity window to 60 days.

Why screening fees exist (Colorado):

They’re meant to cover the cost of reviewing your info — not to be a barrier.

If you provide a valid portable screening report, managers usually can’t charge an application fee.

Process ≠ approval.

Clarity helps.

Why do property managers charge tenant screening fees?
Here’s a clear look at how these fees work, when they’re allowed, and how Colorado’s portable screening law changes what renters can be charged.

Colorado renters:
Accepting a portable screening report ≠ approving an application.

The report controls process and fees.

Approval depends on the property’s criteria.

Confusing the two leads to a lot of unnecessary stress.

Renting in Colorado?
Before you pay an application fee, ask this:

“Do you accept a portable tenant screening report?”

If yes, you may not need to pay for another screening.
January 8, 2026 at 3:44 AM
Portable tenant screening can make renting simpler — but only if renters understand the rules.

Colorado law outlines when a portable tenant screening report must be accepted, how long it’s valid, and when exceptions apply.

Not every tenant screening report qualifies as “portable” in Colorado.

There are specific requirements around what’s included, how recent it is, and how it’s provided. We explained what actually counts — in plain language.

Colorado rental application fees are confusing — and often misunderstood.

There are rules about when fees can be charged, when they can’t, and how portable screening fits in. But most renters aren’t told what those rules are.

We broke it down in plain language here:

Colorado rental application fees: What you should actually pay
If you’ve rented in Colorado, you’ve probably paid an application fee more than once. Sometimes it’s forty dollars. Sometimes fifty. Sometimes more. And you rarely know what that fee actually covers.

In Colorado, a portable tenant screening report has to meet specific requirements to be considered valid — including being recent, complete, and accessible at no cost to the property manager.

The details matter.
