At Sue My Landlord, our mission is to make sure you understand your rights. Far too many tenants don’t even realize they can sue their landlord, much less that they are entitled to damages if their living conditions didn’t meet state standards or if their landlord failed to follow the letter of their lease.
If you’re unsure about your lease terms or whether your landlord has violated them, a Colorado lease agreement lawyer from our team can help you review and understand your contract.
When you’re renting a home or apartment, it can sometimes feel like your landlord has all the power. After all, they are in charge of setting the rules, setting rent, and making repairs. The good news is, Colorado law recognizes this power imbalance and has created many regulations ensuring tenants are treated fairly and appropriately.
If your landlord violates your lease or fails to comply with state or local laws—including those requiring a safe and habitable living environment—you may have grounds to file a lawsuit. Additionally, if your landlord retaliates against you for asserting your rights or making a complaint, you may be entitled to compensation as well.
Sue My Landlord is here to help with all of these issues. We exclusively represent tenants, and our Colorado tenant attorneys will do everything possible to ensure that your rights under state law are enforced so you can have the home you deserve and are compensated if a landlord takes that away.

Ross was exceptional to work with. He was calm and comforting in a time of uncertainty and pain. He was able to use his expertise to bring us much needed peace and resolution. I could not recommend him and his team more for their compassion and professionalism.

Our Colorado tenant attorneys handle a wide variety of cases, including unsafe or uninhabitable housing conditions, unlawful evictions, failure to make necessary repairs, significant or retaliatory rent increases, lease termination disputes, and violations of the warranty of habitability under Colorado law. If you’re a tenant experiencing problems with your landlord or your rental property, we can help you protect your rights.
You may have a valid case if your landlord has violated your rights under state or local housing laws. This could include failure to make necessary repairs, unsafe or unlivable conditions, improper notice before eviction, or ignoring lease terms. If you’ve experienced mold, pests, lack of heat or water, or threats of eviction, it’s worth speaking with a Colorado tenant attorney to evaluate your situation. A free consultation can help determine if you have grounds to take legal action.
Under Colorado law, landlords are legally required to provide and maintain rental properties that are safe, sanitary, and fit to live in. This is known as the Warranty of Habitability, and it includes maintaining plumbing, heat, hot water, electricity, and structural safety. If your landlord fails to make timely repairs after written notice, you may be able to withhold rent, terminate your lease, or take legal action. A tenants’ rights attorney can help you understand your options.
No. In Colorado, your landlord must follow the legal eviction process, which includes providing proper notice. For most evictions, they must give you a 10-day notice to cure or vacate before filing an eviction (for-cause). In cases of substantial lease violations, that may be reduced to 3 days. Lockouts, utility shutoffs, or physical removal without a court order are illegal in Colorado. If you’re facing sudden eviction threats, speak to a lawyer immediately.
In Colorado, rent control is banned statewide, so landlords can generally raise rent by any amount, but only with proper notice and not during a fixed-term lease. For month-to-month tenancies, landlords must give at least 60 days’ notice before increasing rent. However, if the increase is discriminatory or retaliatory (such as after you file a complaint), it may be unlawful. If you suspect foul play, consult a Colorado rent dispute attorney.
In Colorado, you may legally terminate your lease early if your rental unit is uninhabitable and your landlord fails to fix the issue within a reasonable time after written notice. Other lawful reasons include active military duty, domestic violence, or mutual agreement with the landlord. You must follow specific steps, like providing written notice and documenting the issue. Speaking with a Colorado wrongful eviction lawyer helps you avoid penalties and ensure you follow state law.
