My question involves an eviction in the state of: Colorado
We couldn’t come up with the rent for the month and landlord gave us until the 1st of the next month. One day prior to the 1st, our landlord gave us a typed notice stating to pay the rent and next months rent by 12 pm on the 1st or prepare to vacate the premises asap. We could not do so and vacated the premises that evening of the 1st. Now 21 days later, we receive a summons in forcible entry and unlawful detainer.
Wasn’t the landlord supposed to check if we vacated the premises before issuing an eviction notice?
Also the date selected on the form to appear in court is for 11 days prior to the date it was filed. Which is way passed due of course. Landlord stated that a Demand for Compliance or Right of Possession Notice was put in a conspicuous place, but just a typed letter, not even signed was placed on our door and that a Notice to Quit was placed in a conspicuous place, but never was and the landlord didn’t even put a date on that document stating when this was done.
Landlord was also to supply us with a copy of the lease agreement with this summons and did not.
What to do next?
