Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Colorado

You may have a right to claim that the premises are uninhabitable under Colorado law. Colorado recently adopted statutes providing for a warranty of habitability in residential premises. That statute states various conditions that may make premises uninhabitable. If a premises �substantially lacks� running water and reasonable amounts of hot water at all times furnished to appropriate fixtures and connected to a sewage disposal system approved under applicable law, then it may violate the warranty of habitability.

There are various requirements to comply with under this act and all must be followed to the letter. Therefore, I would strongly recommend that you contact an attorney to advise you and the other tenants on your rights and the steps to exercise those rights.
