FAQ
When there is no written lease and has never been a written lease, the State of Colorado assumes a month-to-month tenancy. To terminate this type of month-to-month lease, either the tenant or the landlord must give the other 21 days written notice before the end of the current rental month.
State law regulates several rent-related issues, including the amount of notice (at least 10 days in Colorado for month-to-month leases) landlords must give tenants to raise the rent and how much time (three days in Colorado) a tenant has to pay rent or move before a landlord can file for eviction.
Substantial Violation If the landlord is evicting the tenant for any of these reasons, the landlord must give the tenant a three-day notice to quit. (Colo. Rev.If the tenant does not move out of the rental unit by the end of three days, then the landlord can file an eviction lawsuit against the tenant.
A commonly used privacy clause allows a landlord access to the rental property at reasonable times and with reasonable notice to the tenant to make necessary repairs or reasonable inspections. Additionally, a landlord has the right to enter a rental unit without notice in emergencies.
A landlord needs to give a written notice to the tenant to move-out allowing 21 days for the tenant to vacate specifying the exact date on when the tenancy will end.

You then have to wait for at least 3 days to elapse. If the last day of any period is a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, the period is extended.
Evicting a tenant in Colorado can take around 2 weeks to 4 months, depending on whether the eviction is for illegal activity or another type of eviction. If the tenant files an answer with the court, the process could take longer (read more).
