[CO] Can I charge a security deposit when leasing a salon station?
I am in Colorado and a hairstylist that has my own salon I am currently going to hire a booth renter to work in her station full-time and she’s paying 250 a week and I am wondering what the rules are for me to charge a security deposit and how I need to word that in my Lease so that I am covered and so that this person will be required to pay a security deposit.

In Colorado, as a salon owner renting out a booth, you are permitted to charge a security deposit to protect against potential damages or unpaid rent. However, it's essential to ensure that your lease agreement aligns with Colorado laws and clearly outlines the terms related to the security deposit.
Legal Considerations for Security Deposits in Colorado:
-
Deposit Limit: Colorado law allows landlords to charge a security deposit, but the amount should be reasonable and customary (§ 38-12-102.5). It's common practice to charge an amount equivalent to one month's rent.
-
Return of Deposit: Upon termination of the lease, you must return the security deposit within 30 days unless the lease agreement specifies a longer period, not exceeding 60 days (§ 38-12-103). If any deductions are made, you must provide an itemized statement detailing the reasons.

Hello
Hi.
I rent a studio in Glendale, Colorado that I use as a hair salon. I have 3 chairs in the space and am renting one to another individual.
She is stating that I cannot charge a security deposit for renting a chair in the space. However, I see online that’s not true. Correct? And if so did I word it correctly in my lease here?
Also how much would it cost for me to get a legit lease written from your company ?
