Just cause eviction rules in Colorado Springs, CO — sometimes called tenant protection or "for cause" eviction ordinances — list the specific legal reasons a landlord can end a tenancy.
Colorado Springs does not have a just-cause eviction ordinance. Landlords may terminate tenancies for any lawful reason with proper notice as provided under Colorado landlord-tenant law. For month-to-month tenancies, landlords must provide written notice as required by state statute (typically 21 days for tenancies of one month to six months, 28 days for tenancies of six months to one year, and 91 days for tenancies of one year or longer under recent Colorado legislation). Colorado does prohibit retaliatory evictions under C.R.S. 38-12-509.
Colorado Springs follows state eviction procedures. Landlords must provide proper written notice before filing eviction actions. For month-to-month tenancies, typically 30 to 60 days notice is required for no-cause termination. Fixed-term leases end on their termination date. Eviction for cause (non-payment, lease violation) follows faster timelines. Retaliatory and discriminatory evictions are prohibited under state and federal law. Self-help evictions such as changing locks or shutting off utilities are illegal.
Illegal self-help eviction: tenant damages and penalties. Retaliatory eviction: prohibited, tenant may counterclaim. Improper notice: eviction case dismissed.
