Cal. Civ. Code § 13-40-110.2
Personal identifying information in eviction court filings - landlord's duties - definition.
Operative Text
[ Editor's note: This section is effective January 1, 2027. ] (1) A landlord shall comply with applicable court rules governing the protection and redaction of personal identifying information in eviction filings. (2) A landlord shall redact personal identifying information from any supporting documents submitted to a court that may become publicly accessible. A landlord may submit personal identifying information in a confidential manner consistent with judicial department procedures if a court requires such information. (3) Nothing in this section prohibits a landlord from including personal identifying information explicitly required by a court. All other supporting documents submitted must comply with subsection (2) of this section. (4) As used in this section, unless the context otherwise requires, "personal identifying information" includes a: (a) Social security number; (b) Birth date; (c) Driver's license number; (d) State identification number; (e) Bank account number; (f) Credit card number; and (g) Debit card number.
Colo. Rev. Stat. § 13-40-110.2, effective January 1, 2027, establishes rules for how personal identifying information must be handled in eviction court filings in Colorado. Landlords are required to redact sensitive data—such as Social Security numbers, birth dates, driver's license numbers, state ID numbers, and financial account numbers—from any supporting documents that could become publicly accessible. Courts may still receive such information through confidential submission channels when legally required, but the general rule is that this data must be shielded from public view.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Colo. Rev. Stat. § 13-40-110.2, compliant property owners and managers review all supporting documents before submitting them to an eviction court and remove any of the seven categories of personal identifying information listed in the statute. Where a court explicitly requires such information, operators submit it through the judicial department's designated confidential procedures rather than in publicly accessible filings. Staying current with applicable court rules governing redaction is a standard part of eviction filing practice under this provision.

Colo. Rev. Stat. § 13-40-110.2 gives tenants a degree of protection against having sensitive personal data—like Social Security numbers, bank account numbers, or driver's license numbers—exposed in publicly accessible eviction court records. If a tenant believes a landlord has submitted unredacted personal identifying information in violation of this provision, that concern can generally be raised with the court where the eviction is filed or explored with a tenant-rights organization familiar with Colorado housing law. Because this section takes effect January 1, 2027, tenants involved in eviction proceedings on or after that date may have grounds to raise compliance issues related to how their personal information was handled in court filings.
