    Do All Tenants Have to Give Notice for One to Be Removed from a Month-to-Month Lease
    My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Colorado

    Hello, I recently moved to Colorado from Florida. When I originally checked the room out it had damage from flooding that I was assured would be fixed soon. When I moved in a month later it still was not fixed. I spoke with property management company, and they said they had an employee that was dropping the ball that they fired and that it would be handled soon. I went ahead an signed the lease addendum. I have been living there for two months, and just paid my 3rd months rent. Contractors have come out to look at the damage, but no progress has been made. On the 26th of October I let them know that I would like to be removed from or terminate the lease. Today 11/9, they are telling me that all of the tenants must give notice if I want to be removed from the lease. I do not know what the lease actually says because I have never seen it. The addendum I signed only had the sections that were changing. I have a requested a copy of my lease. I have been trying to find someone to take over my room, but the roommates are being very picky, and the property management company is not communicating with me or the applicants in a timely manner. I had someone apply with the property management company, but we did not hear back from them for a week and a half after we both sent multiple emails.

    Do I have any options for getting out of this lease? Am I locked in indefinitely until the other tenants agree? I could not stay in the flood damaged room any longer. I lived there for two months and got two colds in that time. It also seems like the property management company has admitted to taking an unreasonable amount of time with the excuse about their employee dropping the ball. The damages actually occurred in may of this year. Can I use this to my advantage?

    Thank you

    You say that you're month-to-month, but you also state that you don't have a copy of your lease. Are you certain that you're month-to-month?

    It does not appear that Colorado has a statutory requirement, mandating that the landlord provide you with a copy of the lease, but there may be such a provision in the governing local ordinances.

    This is the email from my LL:

    "The bottom line is that this is one lease. Not 4 different leases.

    You guys are on a month-month 60 day notice. However, we dont take ‘notices’ from individuals, its either all are giving notice or none.

    In your case, it sounds like you want to move out, but the other three roommates don't. So its between the 4 of you as to how you work it out. If ‘the group’ is staying, then we would entertain a replacement tenant for you, at our discretion."


    Someone in my house must have seen a lease at one time, but I have not and no one has a copy of it.

    I finally got a copy of the lease. All of the tenants listed on the lease have moved out. I requested a copy of the amendment I signed as well.
