A Colorado lease termination letter is a legal document used to end various lease types. It provides different notice periods based on the length of the tenancy.
The termination date should comply with the notice period mandated by state laws. The landlord may initiate eviction proceedings if the tenant doesn’t vacate the property within the specified timeframe.
Governing Law — Colorado Revised Statutes § 13-40-107.
Notice Periods:
- For Tenancies One Year or Longer: 91 days
- For Tenancies Six Months to Less Than One Year: 28 days
- For Tenancies One Month to Less Than Six Months: 21 days
- For Tenancies One Week to Less Than One Month: 3 days

Reasons to Use a 30-Day Notice to Vacate
Below are some of the main reasons for requesting a tenant in Colorado to vacate your property:
- Health and Safety Violations: If the property is in violation of health or safety standards and cannot be inhabited, a lease termination letter may be necessary.
- Property Sale or Renovation: If a landlord plans to sell the property, convert it for personal use, or undertake significant renovations that require it to be vacant, they may issue a lease termination letter.
