A: Understanding your situation requires clarity on the specific charges under CRS 18-18-403.5 and the circumstances around your eviction under CRS 13-40-107.5. The nature of the charges, your rental agreement, and any communications from your landlord are critical details. Additionally, whether you have received an official eviction notice and the timeline of events leading up to this situation would be helpful.

Facing an eviction due to charges related to controlled substances can be challenging. However, you have options and steps you can take to address this situation. It's essential to review your lease agreement to understand any terms related to criminal activity and its impact on your tenancy. Communicating openly with your landlord about your case and any steps you're taking towards resolution can also be beneficial. Seeking legal advice from an attorney experienced in landlord-tenant law in Colorado is crucial. They can provide guidance specific to your case, help you understand your rights, and possibly represent you in negotiations or court.

Taking proactive steps quickly is important. Gather all relevant documents, including your lease, any correspondence from your landlord, and legal paperwork related to your charge. This preparation will be invaluable when consulting with an attorney or presenting your case. Remember, every situation has a path towards resolution, and seeking professional guidance can help navigate this complex process.
