When a lease ends, a landlord expects to get their property back. Unfortunately, some tenants overstay and resort to delay tactics that have no real legal basis. When that happens, a routine handoff can turn into a drawn-out legal fight. In Colorado, a landlord who tries to handle the eviction alone can backfire, ultimately allowing the tenant to stay even longer. 

Colorado is one of 17 no-fault divorce states, where courts don’t consider who caused the marriage to deteriorate when deciding whether to grant the divorce. You don’t have to prove your spouse did anything wrong to end your marriage. The only grounds for divorce are that the marriage is irretrievably broken. However, while the court doesn’t care who’s at fault for breaking the marriage, wrongful actions such as domestic violence or dissipating marital assets can absolutely impact how assets and debts are divided, spousal support, and parenting issues.

HOA special assessments are increasingly common in Colorado, especially for condo and townhome owners. Rising insurance deductibles, hail and wind damage, and years of underfunded HOA reserves have led many homeowners' associations to levy large fees with little notice. These assessments can cost tens of thousands of dollars and leave homeowners wondering if they have any options.
