Deposit Compliance for Denver 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
What does outsourced AppFolio bookkeeping cost Denver property management companies compared to in-house accounting?
REA’s outsourced model typically costs less than a full-time in-house bookkeeper once you account for salary, benefits, and turnover, and it eliminates the risk of a single-person dependency on AppFolio data entry. Denver operators get dedicated AppFolio-trained staff, consistent month-end close, and owner-ready financials without building an internal accounting function.
Can REA support Denver property managers with mixed portfolios of multifamily and build-to-rent properties in AppFolio?
Yes. REA structures AppFolio chart-of-accounts and property groupings to handle both traditional multifamily and BTR assets within a single portfolio. Owner statements, expense categorization, and trust account reconciliation are maintained separately by property type, giving Denver managers clean reporting across their entire book without blending unrelated income and expense streams.
How does REA handle Colorado's security deposit return requirements inside AppFolio for Denver property managers?
REA tracks security deposit liabilities as restricted funds within AppFolio from move-in through move-out. When a tenancy ends, REA flags the applicable return deadline (one month under Colorado statute, up to 60 days if the lease allows) and prepares the itemized accounting needed for any withholdings, reducing the exposure Denver managers face under Colorado’s treble damages provision.
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.
