Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Colorado

60days
A tenant called me on April 3rd and left a message that she had moved out of our rental house. She never gave notice. She was on a month-to-month lease. We did not receive any keys from her until the 24th of April, after repeated attempts to contact her. We sent a notice detailing the breakdown of her deposit on June 8, 2000. She believes we are past 60 days, because she thinks it should begin on the 3rd of April--we think we are within the 60 days, because property was not relinquished until the 24th of April, which, by the way, she did not send us any front door keys. I would like your opinion on this.

Re: 60days

Stick to your guns. The time doesn't begin running until she makes the premises available to you. Technically, she owes rent until she does this.

Maintain that the time began running from the point at which you were able to enter the premises normally, which was when the keys were returned.
