Deposit Compliance for Colorado Springs Portfolios
Colorado Revised Statutes
Colorado statute sets a one month return deadline, extendable to a maximum of 60 days only if the lease says so, and provides for treble damages where a deposit is wrongfully withheld.
Deposits are the tenant's money until lawfully applied, so they are tracked as restricted funds from move-in through disposition.
All Colorado requirementsHow we keep you inside it
- Deposit liabilities tracked per tenant in AppFolio, so a one month, up to 60 days by lease deadline is answerable from the ledger
- Trust accounts reconciled three ways every month
- Deduction documentation recorded against the correct ledger
- Aging deposits flagged before the statutory window closes

Frequently Asked Questions
Does REA support Colorado Springs property managers who hold a mix of SFR rentals and HOA-governed communities?
REA handles both. For single-family rentals, we manage operating ledgers, rent rolls, and owner distributions inside AppFolio. For HOA-governed properties, we handle dues tracking, reserve fund accounting, and assessment reconciliations. Many Colorado Springs portfolios blend both property types, and REA maintains clean separation between the two within the same AppFolio instance.
Can REA manage AppFolio bookkeeping for Colorado Springs portfolios with high PCS-driven turnover?
Yes. Military PCS cycles compress lease terms and create back-to-back move-in and move-out accounting events. REA’s reconciliation process is built for high-velocity portfolios. We close out departing tenant ledgers, apply security deposit dispositions, and open new tenant ledgers without letting the volume create reconciliation backlogs in AppFolio.
How does REA handle security deposit accounting for Colorado Springs property managers under Colorado's 30-day return rule?
REA tracks every deposit transaction inside AppFolio at the unit level, recording receipt, any deductions with documentation, and the refund or forfeiture. When a tenant vacates, our team flags the deposit ledger immediately so your team can issue the refund or itemized statement within Colorado’s 30-day statutory window, reducing your exposure to wrongful-withholding claims.
What kind of financial reports do you provide to AppFolio clients?
We provide detailed monthly financial reports and statements that offer a transparent overview of your business’s financial health. These reports are designed to ensure compliance with all trust account regulations and to help you make informed business decisions based on accurate financial data.
Can you handle both corporate and trust Appfolio bank reconciliation?
Yes, we offer both corporate and trust bookkeeping services tailored to AppFolio users. We manage the complexity of your corporate financial activities as well as ensure meticulous accuracy and compliance in your trust accounting, using AppFolio’s comprehensive toolset to manage all aspects effectively.
