Dear LawGuru User:

For some reason this message was given to me as a Colorado matter. If you are not in Colorado, please ignore this message.

I do not have expertise in this area (I practice real estate law, not landlord/tenant law).

However, a search for "renters rights Colorado" or "tenants rights Colorado" on the internet will give you quite a bit of information. Also, tenants with low incomes who are Denver residents may contact the Legal Aid Society of Metropolitan Denver, which I think has a program which makes attorneys available to them.

Thank you for using LawGuru.

Sincerely,

Louise Aron

Re: evictions

A check book?

Seriously, the landlord needs to file an Unlawfuld Detainer action against you, which will give you 5 days to respond. If you respond, a hearing will be held within 20 days. If you lose at the hearing, the landlord will get a judgment, and if you don't move out, the sheriff will come an help you.

Finding a new rental will not be easy when a new landlord runs a credit check and finds an unlawful detainer action was filed against you.

My recommendation is to go to your landlord and explain whatever your situation is. Find a new place, pronto! Work with your current landlord regarding getting him paid.
