Use the official Colorado Notice to Terminate Tenancy when you need to terminate a Tenancy due to a substantial lease violation, a repeat violation, or termination of a periodic tenancy less than 12 months.


Colorado Eviction Laws: Notice to Terminate Tenancy

Landlords may issue a Notice to Terminate with no opportunity to cure when:

  • The Tenant has committed a substantial violation. A Tenant commits a substantial Lease violation when the Tenant endangers others or engages in certain crimes and illegal activities.
  • The Tenant has committed a repeat Lease violation. If the Tenant has received a prior Demand for Compliance for the same Lease violation, the Landlord is not required to allow the Tenant to cure the Lease violation.
  • The Lease is not being renewed for: a periodic Tenancy, a Lease term for less than 12 months, a property where the Landlord lives on the property as their primary residence, or a rental property provided as part of an employer-provided housing agreement.


The required notice periods are:

  • 3 days for substantial Lease violations
  • 10 days for repeat Lease violations
  • For non-renewals, the notice period varies based on the length of the tenancy. For periodic tenancies of more than 6 months but less than a year, the Tenant must receive 28 days notice; for tenancies of 1 month, but less than 6 months, the Tenant must receive 21 days notice; for tenancies of less than a month but more than a week, the Tenant must receive 3 days notice; for a tenancy of less than a week, the Tenant must receive 1 day notice.
