If a Landlord does not plan to renew a Colorado Residential Lease Agreement, the Landlord should provide the Tenant with a Notice of No-Fault Eviction at least 90 days before the Tenancy ends.

Colorado Eviction Laws: No-Fault Eviction

As of April 2024, Colorado Landlords must comply with “just cause” requirements for non-renewal of a Lease Agreement. Cause to terminate a tenancy includes:

• Demolition of the rental property
• Conversion to a nonresidential property
• Conversion to a short-term rental property
• Substantial repairs
• Landlord use
• Sale of property
• Failure of Tenant to sign a new rental agreement with reasonable terms
• A history of two or more late rent payments

Landlords are exempt from just cause requirements if:

• The Landlord has Tenants who have lived in the rental for less than a year;
• The rental property is the Landlord’s primary residence; or
• The rental is employer-provided housing, a mobile home, or a short-term rental property.

If the Landlord is not exempt from just cause requirements and does not plan to renew the Lease Agreement, the Landlord must provide Tenants with a Notice of No-Fault Eviction at least 90 days before the Rental Agreement expires.
