Generate Colorado Demands

10-Day Demand for Compliance For nonpayment of rent, the landlord serves a written demand giving the tenant 10 days to pay in full or vacate. Colorado uses form JDF 99A, and every notice must include the required Notice of Tenant Rights — a defective notice gets the case dismissed.

C.R.S. § 13-40-104(1)(d)

How Connect2Court helps

Generate compliant demands in bulk

Connect2Court builds the demand and attaches the Notice of Tenant Rights automatically, so the most common dismissal cause never reaches the docket.

File the FED Complaint & Summons If the tenant does not cure within the notice period, the landlord files an Eviction Complaint (JDF 101) and Eviction Summons (JDF 102) in the County Court for the county where the property is located.

Service of the Summons The tenant must be served at least 7 days before the court appearance date. Service is made personally, or by posting on the premises with a copy mailed.

C.R.S. § 13-40-112(3)

Return Date / First Appearance The court sets the first appearance roughly 7–14 days after filing. This is where the case either resolves immediately or is set for a contested trial.

First Appearance The tenant either appears or defaults. From here the case splits down two paths.

C.R.S. § 13-40-111

Judgment for Possession The court enters judgment for possession in the landlord's favor. The tenant has 14 days to appeal and post a bond to stay the eviction.

C.R.S. §§ 13-40-115, 13-40-116

Writ of Restitution The writ is issued no earlier than 48 hours after judgment is entered. It is the court's formal order returning possession to the landlord. Connect2Court does not file Colorado writs today.

C.R.S. § 13-40-122

Sheriff Execution The sheriff posts the writ and the tenant has 48 hours to vacate. If they remain, the county sheriff carries out the physical removal and returns possession to the landlord.
