Colorado commercial lease bonds.
From $100.
A commercial lease guarantee bond backs a tenant’s obligations under a lease — rent, repairs, lease terms — so a landlord accepts it in place of a large cash deposit. This is a private, contractual bond, not a Colorado statutory requirement; the landlord and lease set the amount, and the premium is 2% of the bond amount, $100 minimum.

What it is and who needs it.
What the lease guarantee bond actually covers
A commercial lease guarantee bond is a three-party arrangement: the tenant is the principal, the landlord is the obligee, and the surety stands behind the tenant. It guarantees the tenant will meet the lease obligations — typically rent, property maintenance, and the other terms of the lease — up to the bond amount.
It is a private, contractual bond. Unlike a license or statutory bond, no Colorado statute requires it — a landlord asks for it as an alternative to a large cash security deposit, often where the landlord is funding tenant improvements and wants its rent stream secured. We won't imply a legal mandate here, because there isn't one.
If the tenant defaults, the landlord can claim against the bond for the amount needed to cure the default, up to the bond limit — and the tenant must reimburse the surety for anything paid. The amount is whatever the landlord and lease name; enter it, and the premium is 2% of that amount, $100 minimum, confirmed with a quick soft credit check that affects approval, not price.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
Deliver to your landlord. Submit the executed bond to the landlord that required it. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is 2% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
One soft credit pull, never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
