Renting in Boulder
Neighbourhoods landlords here manage: The Hill, Pearl Street, Table Mesa, North Boulder, Gunbarrel, Martin Acres.
A licence is required; the old occupancy rule is not
Boulder requires a valid rental licence, with separate categories for long-term rentals of 30 days or more and short-term rentals of 29 days or less. The limit on how many unrelated people could share a home no longer applies: Colorado House Bill 24-1007 prohibited occupancy limits of that kind in 2024 and the city stopped enforcing its own. Property-maintenance rules still govern bedroom size and how many people a bedroom may sleep, so check those rather than the old occupancy figure.
