As evictions in Colorado spike to pre-pandemic highs, thousands of low-income tenants may soon be able to virtually attend and contest looming evictions under a bill that passed the Colorado House in late March.would allow tenants to attend court hearings virtually and to respond to property owners’ filings digitally. The measure, which passed the House on a comfortable, party-line vote on March 20, also has provisions governing how to handle a tenant who disconnects from a virtual hearing.
“If you are facing an eviction and you live miles and miles and miles from the nearest courthouse and you cannot go because of whatever reason, this is a way for you to say, ‘I can stay in my home, I can show up to my hearing, and I don’t have to get put on the path to homelessness,'” said Rep. Iman Jodeh, who’s sponsoring the measure with fellow Aurora Democratic Rep. Mandy Lindsay.
