I have a tenant who is older and left the home with the stove top on with food in the pan. I went in to do some scheduled maintenance and found this. If I had not been there the home could have started on fire. Would this be grounds for eviction ? In Colorado?
Thanks
Technically perhaps, however, I think its unlikely that a judge would find that to be an evictable offense based on those facts. Under C.R.S. § 13-40-104(1)(e)&(j) the judge has a lot of discretion in compliance and nuisance evictions. So the judge will only evict if they found the incident to be egregious.
Since I don't know all the facts and history of your tenant I would suggest speaking to an attorney to discuss your options.
