10 days nonpayment notice.
Nonpayment requires a 10-day demand to pay or vacate for most residential tenants. Colorado now requires cause to terminate many tenancies after the initial period.
What this means for you: Paying within the 10-day window stops a nonpayment eviction. Recent reforms expanded tenant protections statewide.
Your next step: Note the 10-day deadline. If you can cure, pay and keep proof; otherwise seek legal aid before the hearing.
