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
