Colorado Eviction Notice

Before a landlord can file an eviction case in Colorado, the tenant must receive a written notice that states what is wrong and how long they have to fix it or move out. In Colorado, a landlord must generally give 10 days' notice to pay rent or quit under Colo. Rev. Stat. 13-40-104(1)(d).

This template generates a Colorado eviction notice for nonpayment of rent, a lease violation, or the end of the tenancy. You set the notice period so the document matches the current Colorado requirement for your situation.
