El Paso County follows Colorado HB 24-1098 which requires just cause for most evictions and lease non-renewals effective April 2024. Tenants in good standing cannot be evicted without statutory cause.
Colorado's For-Cause Eviction Act (HB 24-1098, C.R.S. §38-12-1301 et seq.) took effect April 19, 2024 and applies in El Paso County. Landlords must state a for-cause reason for eviction or non-renewal of residential leases. Qualifying causes include non-payment, material lease violation, substantial damage, tenant conduct endangering others, and no-fault reasons (landlord move-in, sale to owner-occupant, demolition, major renovation, conversion). No-fault evictions require 90 days notice and may trigger relocation assistance equal to 2 months' rent. Exceptions apply: single-family homes where landlord owns fewer than 5 rentals, first 12 months of a new tenancy, employer-provided housing, and certain subsidized housing. Non-payment evictions require 10-day demand for compliance (C.R.S. §13-40-104). El Paso County Court handles forcible entry and detainer (FED) actions at the Centennial Hall courthouse in Colorado Springs.
Self-help eviction (C.R.S. §38-12-510): tenant actual damages plus $50 per day or 3 months' rent. Retaliatory eviction: C.R.S. §38-12-509 defense and damages. Improper notice: case dismissed, landlord refiles with correct notice.
