Eviction Notices in Colorado
Colorado's eviction process is governed by the Colorado Revised Statutes and has become more tenant-protective in recent years. For nonpayment of rent, landlords must serve a 10-day demand for compliance or possession before filing for eviction.
Colorado law requires specific language in eviction notices and imposes procedural requirements on landlords. Self-help evictions are prohibited, and courts closely scrutinize compliance with notice requirements.
