    Upon expiration of the three day notice period, your landlord needs to file a formal eviction complaint, called a Forcible Entry and Detainer. You will be served notice that an eviction has been filed, and will have the opportunity to file an answer with the court.

    The landlord may not lock you out.

    Once the court grants the eviction order, the sheriff's department will be called to put you out.

    I'm given to understand that eviction actions move quite rapidly through the Colorado courts. You'd do well to commence packing as fast as you can manage. You likely don't have longer than a couple weeks, on the outside.

    You can, if you are able, pay your landlord the money due during the 3 day notice period.

    If she can't prove that you were unable to pay her, she cannot file an eviction notice with the court.

    It doesn't matter where she got the notice (Internet or what have you).

    Your only remedy is to pay her in full. I don't know that Colorado moves any faster than other states, but you can find out your rights at HUD.
