Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Colorado

Is it legal for a landlord to evict a tenant for nonpayment of rent in less than 30 days? Also, I was told it in PA a landlord could not evict single mom's during the winter months, is this true in Colorado as well? Also, the landlord is actually a property management company and she filed the case under her personal name instead of your company, is this legal?

My landlord started the eviction process one day after the rent was late (due on March 5th, started on the 6th). I'm a single mom and was evicted on the 24th and am now faced with trying to find a new home with an eviction on my record. If the property manager had waited just three weeks, I had the money to pay.

I'm would like to get this off of my record is the property manager did this illegally. Through this whole process, she (the property manager) didn't seem to know what she was doing. At the court date she didn't even know that I would be getting an eviction on my record, she thought if we came to an agreement without the cops taking all my stuff out to the house, I would not get an eviction. Definitely wrong!

Please help,

Donna

I am sorry about the problems. The landlord has a right to file for eviction on the basis of your lease terms. If you are late, even by one day, they can start the process (notice, service, so on). In court is where you had to make your claims. If you did go to court and lost or did not go to court, that is about it. There is also no single mom law that prevents an eviction. Sorry and good luck.
