twenty-four hours after the tenant's request:

(A) A comparable dwelling unit, as selected by the landlord, at no cost to the
tenant; or

(B) A hotel room, as selected by the landlord, at no cost to the tenant.

(b) (I) A comparable dwelling unit or hotel room must include at least the
same number of beds as there are beds used in a tenant's dwelling unit.

with a freezer and a range stove or oven; or

(B) The landlord must provide a per diem for daily meals and incidentals for
each tenant in an amount that is at least equal to the Colorado state employee per
diem for intrastate travel as established by the department of personnel. The
