Colorado courts have specified that a tenant covered by the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act is entitled to a minimum 30 days of advance notice about a lease violation before a landlord can file for eviction. This applies even after the act’s other protections have expired. [1]
A Colorado 3 Day Notice To Quit evicts a tenant for nonpayment of rent, when the tenant lives in employer-provided housing. In Colorado, a landlord can file this notice the day after rent is due, with no grace period for the tenant. The tenant must pay all past due rent or else move out within three (3) calendar days.
A Colorado 5 Day Notice To Quit evicts a tenant for nonpayment of rent, when the landlord owns five or fewer rental properties leased as single-family homes (exempt rental property). In Colorado, a landlord can file this notice the day after rent is due, with no grace period for the tenant. The tenant must pay all past due rent or else move out within within five (5) calendar days.
A Colorado 10 Day Notice To Quit evicts a tenant for nonpayment of rent in all tenancies other than employer-provided housing or an exempt rental property. In Colorado, a landlord can file this notice the day after rent is due, with no grace period for the tenant. The tenant must pay all past due rent or else move out within within ten (10) calendar days.
A Colorado 3 Day Notice To Comply or Vacate evicts a tenant for a lease violation, when the tenant lives in employer-provided housing. A lease violation might include property damage, failure to maintain health and safety on the rental property, or interfering with the quiet enjoyment of neighbors, among other things.
The tenant must take appropriate corrective action, or else move out within three (3) calendar days of receiving notice.

A Colorado 3 Day Notice To Vacate evicts a tenant for an “incurable” lease violation, i.e., one which the tenant is not allowed to restore through corrective action, such as causing substantial property damage or engaging in illegal activity on the premises. The tenant must move out within three (3) calendar days of receiving notice.
A Colorado 1-91 Day Lease Termination Notice terminates a tenancy. The number of days notice required to terminate a rental agreement for either party is based on the length of the lease.
To help ensure the legal compliance of an eviction notice:
It is easy to lose an otherwise justified legal action because of improper notice. Check carefully to ensure enough time after notice is delivered , not when it’s sent.
The “clock” for an eviction notice period starts “ticking” the day after the notice gets delivered (served). For example, to give at least 30 days of notice and begin court action as of June 30th, delivery of the eviction notice must be no later than May 31st.
In most jurisdictions, if the last day of a notice period is a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, the notice period continues to run until the end of the next day that is not a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday. This is called the “next judicial day;” in other words, the next day a courthouse is open. [2]
Colorado landlords may deliver an initial written eviction notice using any of these methods: [3]
A landlord of a property covered by the CARES Act must give thirty days’ notice before filing for FED [i.e., eviction] in Colorado.
In computing any period of time prescribed or allowed by these rules, the day of the act, event, or default from which the designated period of time begins to run shall not be included. Thereafter, every day shall be counted, including holidays, Saturdays or Sundays. The last day of the period so computed shall be included, unless it is a Saturday, a Sunday, or a legal holiday, in which event the period runs until the end of the next day which is not a Saturday, a Sunday, or a legal holiday. The “next day” is determined by continuing to count forward when the period is measured after an event and backward when measured before an event. Source Link 3 Colo. Rev. Stat. § 13-40-108
A notice to quit or demand for possession of real property may be served by delivering a copy thereof to the tenant or other person occupying such premises, or by leaving such copy with some person, a member of the tenant’s family above the age of fifteen years, residing on or in charge of the premises, or, in case no one is on the premises at the time service is attempted, by posting such copy in some conspicuous place on the premises.
