Colorado’s 10-day notice is used in certain residential tenancy situations, including month-to-month agreements where the lease or state law requires a longer notice period before eviction proceedings may begin.
When 10 Days is Required
While most Colorado pay-or-quit notices are 5 days, some leases specify a longer cure period. Always check your lease agreement first — if the lease requires a 10-day notice before filing, use this form to satisfy that contractual obligation. Using a shorter notice when the lease requires longer can result in dismissal.
Required Elements
Same as the 5-day notice: exact amount owed, property address, deadline, and landlord payment address. Proper service is equally important — document the method, date, and time of delivery.
