    Default How to Evict an Unwelcome House Guest

    My question involves an eviction in the state of: Colorado. Met a woman w/a lg blk lab that slept in small car or small trailor at a car/junkyard & became friends. My Mother had recently passed & I was in a state of depression. Bailed her out of jail & she was going to repay the debt by helping me get my house back together, doing some cleaning, etc. She stayed in our spare bedroom & was planning to find a job & try to get back on her feet. We gave her $ to buy a beater car that worked, she had a warm, comfortable place for both herself & her dog, they both had food, water, heat, laundry facilities, etc. She has totally destroyed bath towels, the carpet in the bedroom, that room & the bathroom for all guests is a total pigsty. She has damaged our back deck, awning, lawnmower & multiple other items, stolen dishes, cups, tools & ?. Like the fool I have been & am I bailed her out of jail a 2nd time. She has created havoc in every way to my relationship w/my husband & my household. There was never any kind of lease agreement or contract between any of us. It's been about 6 months now & obviously is not going to work out. Unfortunately, she has a drug problem & most those she hangs out with are the same. No desire to work & pitch in. Since we never had any kind of a contract we don't understand why we would have to go through the legal process of getting her out of our house!! Please help!!!

    Because your address is her legal residence. When you agreed to allow her to live with you in exchange for cleaning and helping you get your house back together, she became your tenant.

    She's a tenant-at-will now, regardless of any lack of rent or written contract. On April 30th, give her 30 days written notice to pack it up and get out, then initiate formal eviction proceedings if she doesn't.

    Thank you LRMissy, I apologize that I don't know what PM means unless you mean evening & in that case I'm guilty . Do we have to wait till the 30th or can we give her the written notice now? Thanks again.
