🔍 Order Tenant Screening →Colorado 3-Day Notice — Employer-Provided Housing
This specialized 3-day notice applies when an employer provides housing as part of the employment package and the employment relationship has ended. Under C.R.S. § 13-40-104(1)(d.5), the former employee/tenant must pay any housing value owed or vacate within 3 calendar days.
When This Notice Applies
- Housing was provided as part of employment compensation (ranch housing, caretaker quarters, live-in maintenance, etc.)
- The employment relationship has been terminated by either party
- The former employee remains in the housing after termination
When to Use the 10-Day Notice Instead
If your tenant pays rent separately from their employment — even if they also work for you — use the standard 10-Day Notice to Pay or Quit. The 3-day employer housing exception is narrow and courts scrutinize it carefully.
