Co-Hosting for Denver Hosts Who Live in the Home They Rent
Denver is one of the more regulated short-term rental markets in Colorado. The city licenses short-term rentals only at the host's primary residence, and it enforces that rule. That is good news if you are a legitimate local host: there is less investor-owned competition, and a well-run listing in your own home or accessory unit stands out.
MorHaven co-hosts for people in that position. You stay the licensed host. We run the operation: guest messaging, pricing, listing management, turnover coordination, and reviews.
Who We Co-Host For
- Hosts renting a spare room or basement unit in the home where they live
- Hosts with an attached or detached accessory dwelling unit on their primary-residence property
- Hosts who rent their whole home occasionally while traveling and keep it as their primary residence
- House-hackers living in one unit of a duplex or fourplex
The city can look at how much of the year a unit is rented when judging whether it is really your primary residence, so a unit that is rented nearly all year is a risk. We will tell you honestly if your plan looks like it crosses that line.
What We Do
- Guest communication from inquiry through post-checkout review
- Dynamic nightly pricing based on Denver demand, events, and seasonality
- Listing creation, photography coordination, and copy
- Turnover cleaning coordination and post-stay inspection
- Maintenance triage and vendor coordination
- Monthly performance reporting
- HOA and license review before onboarding
What We Do Not Do
We do not manage short-term rentals at properties that are not the host's primary residence, because Denver does not license them and we will not put an owner's investment at risk. If you own a Denver property you do not live in, the legal options are traditional leases or furnished stays of 30 days or more. Both need a Denver residential rental license, and our property management service covers them.

No. Denver licenses short-term rentals (under 30 days) only at the host's primary residence. If the property is not your primary residence it is not eligible for a short-term rental license. Furnished stays of 30 days or more are treated as long-term residential rentals and need a Denver residential rental license instead.
Yes. The licensee has to be the person who lives there, so the license is yours. We operate the listing on your behalf under a written co-hosting agreement.
We charge 20–25% of gross booking revenue depending on property size, service level, and turnover frequency. There are no long-term contracts, and exact pricing is confirmed after we review your property.
Denver's rules allow a short-term rental in a primary dwelling or in an accessory unit on the same property, as long as the host lives on site and the rental is licensed. Zoning and HOA rules still apply, so we check both before listing.
Most properties go from first call to live listing in 10 to 14 days once the city license is in place. If you do not have the license yet, we walk you through the application first.
Then we do not list the property. We review HOA documents before onboarding because a violation puts your ownership and your license at risk.
