We need to protect at-risk renters in Denver from an eviction crisis
While Denver’s booming economy is certainly good news, skyrocketing home prices and rents are not.
With the average price for a single-family home in Denver at $540,624 according to a report by the Denver Metro Association of Realtors, homeownership remains less and less attainable for many. But with the median rent for a one-bedroom apartment at $1,050 according to a report by Apartment Lists, it’s clear that being a renter isn’t much better.
The rental situation is so bad that the Colorado Center for Law and Policy believes Denver is in an eviction crisis.
When staying in your home is difficult and finding a new one is next to impossible, many renters — particularly seniors, low-wage earners and people of color — find themselves vulnerable and at risk of exploitation by dishonest landlords.

Tech Rush: Front Range has seen tech companies sucking up commercial space during the past year
The Colorado Front Range is experiencing a tech real estate gold rush.
Between July 2017 and the end of June, tech companies took on 849,000 square feet of new office and commercial space between Fort Collins and Colorado Springs, according to research compiled by real estate firm CBRE. That’s more than double the amount of space tech firms filled in the proceeding 12 months and brings the total tech-dedicated space in the region to 17.3 million square feet.
“Colorado is witnessing tech industry expansion to a degree not yet seen this business cycle,” Katie Murtaugh, a CBRE senior research analyst and author of the company’s Colorado Tech Book 2018 report, said in a statement last week.
The appetite for space was driven by growth of local companies and those already working in the state, but also in-migration, the report found. At least 22 companies either opened new Front Range offices or moved their headquarters to the area during the 12-month study period.
