You have rights as a tenant in Colorado. You cannot be evicted without cause during the terms of your lease, and if your landlord is asking you to leave at the end of your lease period, you must be given proper notice. Your landlord also cannot take adverse action against you (of any type) just because you are taking steps to resolve unsafe living conditions or other landlord violations.
Unfortunately, sometimes landlords evict tenants when they are not allowed to, for impermissible reasons, or without following the proper process. When this happens, you are entitled to a legal remedy, which could include monetary damages, being allowed to remain in your rental property, and more.
If you are the victim of wrongful eviction or retaliation, you should contact a Colorado wrongful eviction attorney with Sue My Landlord today. Our dedicated and experienced legal team will help you understand your options and pursue the remedies that are right for you.
Types of Wrongful Evictions We Handle in Colorado
We can help you take legal action in all situations where you have been evicted in violation of the lease or violation of the law. Some common examples of wrongful eviction include:
- Retaliatory eviction. This occurs when you are evicted for reporting a code violation or otherwise exercising your legal rights.
- No cause for eviction. Landlords can’t just remove you if you have a valid lease unless there are grounds to do so, such as repeated nonpayment
- Evictions that don’t follow the legal process. Landlords must give you notice and follow proper procedures for evicting you. They can’t just change the locks or remove your belongings or turn off the utilities to try to get you to leave.
- Evictions based on discrimination. Landlords are not allowed to evict you based on your protected status, such as your age, race, gender, or disability status.
Sue My Landlord has extensive experience representing clients in all of these different circumstances after an eviction.
