2021 Colorado Code|Title 6 - Consumer and Commercial Affairs|Article 25 - Public Establishments|Part 1 - Hotels and Restaurants|§ 6-25-112. Liability in Case of Fire or Accident

 The landlord or keeper of any hotel or public inn shall not be liable for loss of or damage to the property of any guest or patron of the hotel or public inn by fire or by any unforeseen causes or by inevitable accident, unless the loss or damage occurs on account of his or her negligence or the negligence of his or her servants or employees.

Editor's note:   This section is similar to former § 12-44-111 as it existed prior to 2017.   ANNOTATION   Law reviews. For comment on Bidlake v. Shirley Hotel Co., appearing below, see 29 Rocky Mt. L. Rev. 136 (1956). For article, “One Year Review of Torts”, see 34 Dicta 115 (1957).   Annotator's note. Since § 6-25-112 is similar to former § 12-44-111 and laws antecedent to that section, relevant cases construing those provisions have been included in the annotations to this section.   “Unforeseen causes”, within this section, cannot be anticipated as likely to occur, and thus the theft of the baggage of a guest at an inn, or an ordinary burglary, is not an unforeseen cause. New Albany Hotel Co. v. Dingman, 66 Colo. 306 , 181 P. 126 (1919).   Where a hotel's uniformed employee, after inquiry and consent, assumed custody and control of guest's automobile with the understanding that it was to be stored in a nearby garage overnight, but instead such employee used the automobile for a “joy ride” and left it on a public street in a damaged condition, and articles of personal property were removed or stolen from the glove compartment, the hotel was liable for the loss and damage resulting from its employee's conduct.

  An innkeeper has the right to refuse or deny accommodations, facilities, and the privileges of a lodging establishment to any person who is not willing or able to pay for the accommodations, facilities, and services. The innkeeper shall have the right to require a prospective guest to demonstrate his or her ability to pay by cash, valid credit card, or a validated check, and if the prospective guest is a minor, the innkeeper may require a parent or legal guardian of the minor or other responsible adult:   To provide a valid credit card number or agree, in writing, to pay for the cost of:   The guest room, including applicable taxes;    All charges made by the minor; and    Any damages caused by the minor or the minor's guests to the guest room or its furnishings; or       To provide an advance cash payment to cover the cost of the guest room for all nights reserved, including applicable taxes, plus a cash deposit to be held toward the payment of any charges made by the minor and any damages to the guest room or its furnishings.

  It is hereby recognized that agriculture is characterized by individual production in contrast to the group or factory system that characterizes other forms of industrial production; that the ordinary form of corporate organization permits industrial groups to combine for the purpose of group production and the ensuing group marketing and that the public has an interest in permitting producers of agricultural products to bring to their industry the high degree of efficiency and merchandising skill evidenced in the manufacturing industries; that the public interest urgently needs to prevent the migration from rural to urban communities in order to enhance production of agricultural products and to preserve the agricultural supply of the nation; that the public interest demands that producers of agricultural products be encouraged to attain a more efficient system of marketing their products and procurement of the necessary equipment and supplies through cooperatives.    Upon written request to the commissioner of agriculture by any three persons, the commissioner or a duly authorized representative of the commissioner may supply a written summary of the most current survey prepared by the department of agriculture, if any exists, of the business conditions affecting the proposed purposes of the cooperative, particularly the commodities to be handled. When such a summary is supplied, the commissioner or a representative of the commissioner may separately set forth an opinion, stating the reasons therefor, regarding the viability of the proposed venture.    In addition, the department of agriculture may, at the discretion of the commissioner or a representative of the commissioner, provide other assistance to persons who seek to organize an agricultural cooperative.
