Tenant Death Cleanup Denver
When a tenant passes away in your rental property, the situation requires compassion, legal compliance, and careful handling of personal belongings. We help landlords navigate this difficult process under Colorado's Letty's Act (HB25-1108).
Call (303) 324-6014Colorado's Letty's Act (HB25-1108, effective September 1, 2025) establishes specific timelines and procedures for handling a deceased tenant's property. Landlords must coordinate with the estate or next of kin before clearing the unit. We provide compassionate, documented property clearance that respects the deceased's belongings while protecting the landlord legally. Call (303) 324-6014.
What Letty's Act (HB25-1108) Requires
Before Letty's Act, Colorado had no clear statute governing what happens when a tenant dies in a rental property. Landlords were left guessing. The new law establishes:
How We Handle Tenant Death Cleanups Differently
This is not a standard cleanout. Our approach reflects the sensitivity of the situation:
- Compassionate crew. Our team understands this is someone's home and someone's loss. They handle belongings with respect — not as "junk" to be thrown away.
- Estate coordination. If the estate or family wants to retrieve specific items before clearance, we work around their schedule. We can do a supervised walkthrough where the family identifies what they want to keep.
- Detailed item documentation. Every item of potential value — personal documents, photos, electronics, jewelry, financial records, medications — is photographed, logged, and set aside for the estate.
- Biohazard awareness. If the death was unattended or involved trauma, the unit may have biohazard conditions. We assess first and refer to certified remediation before clearing if necessary.
- Legal documentation. Timestamped photos, itemized removal log, and records of items preserved for the estate. Protects the landlord from claims by family members.
The Process for Landlords
When Biohazard Remediation Is Needed
If the tenant's death was unattended — discovered days or weeks later — the unit likely has biohazard conditions that require professional remediation before a standard cleanout can proceed. Signs include:
- Strong odor that doesn't dissipate with ventilation
- Visible biological fluids on flooring, furniture, or bedding
- Insect activity (flies, larvae) indicating decomposition
- Staining on surfaces that won't clean with standard products
In these cases, we follow our biohazard protocol — we stop, document, and refer to certified biohazard remediation. The cleanout resumes after the unit is cleared by the remediation company.
Compassionate. Compliant. Documented.
We handle a difficult situation with the care it deserves — and the documentation you need.
