Boulder, CO asked in Real Estate Law and Landlord - Tenant for Colorado

Q: My apt. I building in Boulder is converting to condos. if I want to continue to rent, can they evict me?.

Ok, there is something in a letter I received that says they will give me 90 day notice from termination of my lease but I wonder if there is a Colorado law allowing renters to remain in the building during the conversion. Thank you very much Barbara.. I am 69

A: The landlord cannot terminate the lease early without tenant consent (or vice versa). The landlord (or the tenant) can choose to not renew the lease provided that notice is provide prior to the non-renewal. It other words, it sounds like the landlord is following the law. You can contact the landlord about staying longer, but this is not something required by law. Colorado expressly does not aloow rent control or other renter-favorable laws that are found in some urban areas outside of Colorado.
