It's difficult to make a full analysis based on the question.

You first task should be to locate a copy of the purchase and sale agreement from 1995 to determine the terms the parties agreed to in that document. It seems strange that the HOA would have purchased land with no intent to move the fence so that it could more easily access and use that land, but... View More

It would probably be difficult for an attorney to give you very specific advice about your situation based on the level of detail in your question. If you believe that the landlord did not follow proper procedures or that you've been unfairly treated in the eviction process, you could... View More

It sounds like you've already done some of your homework, but a 7-day demand may be premature at this point depending on the specifics. That may depend on whether you mean the lease was "voided" in that you are both acting like it never existed (did you get that in writing from the... View More

Dom's lease with Mary is much more controlling as to the terms such as rent, pets, payment, length, etc. of any sublease with you than is Colorado law.
