Colorado Democrats have advanced a slew of pro-tenant bills amid a legislative session that one lawmaker called “the year of housing.” Despite concerns from some that two of the most high-profile bills may die, lawmakers and lobbyists say enough measures will advance this year to help achieve Democrats’ goal of rebalancing the relationship between landlords and tenants.“There’s too many of them,” said Drew Hamrick, a senior vice president with the Colorado Apartment Association who’s criticized many of those bills as being counterproductive. “And you can’t go to the same (Democratic) legislators over and over again and ask them to kill numerous of their party’s bills.”The focus on housing is in part driven by what Democratic candidates heard while campaigning last year, legislators said, and in part by the number of renters now serving in the General Assembly.
