Does Aurora cap rent increases?
Not as a national rule, and not as a rumor. Coverage is an address-and-housing-type question. Colorado state law is the book. Confirm the Colorado county of the unit. Denver is a different city. Ask Aurora 311. Then read Colorado Warranty of Habitability and related tenancy statutes for the Colorado floor.
What if I am still in a lease term?
A lease still in term is not the same as month-to-month. The letter in your hand may be a renewal offer, a notice, or something that does not apply yet. Keep it. Do not treat a blog percentage as the law.
Is Aurora the same as the rest of Colorado for renters?
Colorado state law is the book. Confirm the Colorado county of the unit. Denver is a different city. Arapahoe, Adams, or Douglas County — confirm the paper hears possession cases. Dial 311 for City services. Do not import another city’s ordinance.
