Denver, CO asked in Landlord - Tenant for Colorado

Q: I put in my 30 day notice that I would be gone by 6/15/2019 but I paid for the whole month can't I stay until the 25th

Two or three months ago our lease came up and my husband talked to our landlords husband about month to month lease and he said it was fine. We go on the rest of the month thinking everyone is on the same page until he gets a text from his wife asking for our 30 notice and how she isnt comfortable with a month to month. In the end she let us stay until June 31 but my husband is now on deployment and I'm a stay at home mom applying for apts, having a hard time. I ended up giving them a 30 day notice that said I would be out by the 15th thinking I was being helpful to them so they could have 2 WEEKS to get the place in shape and great tentant but the problem is my landlord starts harrassing me around June 5th invading my space, trying to clean the rental w/ my stuff still there just basically non verbally letting my know she wants to move on to the next tentant. I paid for the whole month of June and there are other Apts that I want but they arent ready until around the 25th I don't know

A: If you paid for the entire month and your landlord accepted your payment you may have a strong defense to an eviction initiated by your LL.

It is unlikely that your Landlord has the right to invade your space to clean and prepare for next tenant. Review your lease.
