No, in Colorado, a landlord cannot evict a tenant immediately. The law requires written notice and a court process before any eviction can occur.
In most cases, landlords must give a 10 day written notice for nonpayment of rent or lease violations. For more serious issues, such as substantial violations involving safety or criminal activity, a 3 day notice may be used.
After the notice period, the landlord must file in court and obtain an eviction order. A tenant cannot be removed without a court judgment and enforcement by the sheriff.
