House Bill 24-1007, also known as the HOME Act, took effect Monday. The law prohibits local governments from limiting the number of unrelated people living together under the same roof.
They decided to start the Queen City Cooperative, a type of housing model where residents jointly own the property. "Every time a room opens up, we'll get anywhere from 20 to 55 applications for that one room,” said Polk."When we first moved into this house, you couldn't have more than two unrelated adults to live in a home,” said Wells.“We worked to change the law in Denver to five, and we were still illegal,” said Wells."As of today, I can happily declare that we have eight adults in our seven-bedroom house,” said Wells.
Landlords who opposed the legislation said getting rid of residential occupancy limits would lead to more wear and tear on their properties. Opponents also argued it would have unintended consequences.
