Q: In Colorado, how difficult is it to evict someone living in your house? There is no rental agreement and no rent.
A:
The eviction process must be followed exactly. Not having a written lease is will not prevent you from evicting your roommate. But, you will have to provide proof of the terms of the verbal agreement, i.e. monthly rent paid historically.
If you are unfamiliar with the process I recommend contacting an attorney to assist you with this process as you don't want to have to live with this person through the process twice!
