This Colorado eviction notice is commonly referred to as the Demand for Compliance or Right to Possession Notice (Form JDF 101). It is generally associated with situations in which a tenant is alleged to have failed to pay rent or violated another term of the tenancy. See C.R.S. § 13-40-104(1)(d).
This type of notice generally advises the tenant of the alleged nonpayment or lease violation and references a ten-day period in which the tenant may have an opportunity to pay the rent, correct the violation, or surrender possession of the rental property, as provided under Colorado law. If the tenant does not respond within the notice period, the landlord may have the option to pursue a forcible entry and detainer action through the court system.
