Property Management

A Colorado tenant provides proper notice to vacate but leaves personal property behind after moving out. Under Colorado law, the landlord may:

AA. Immediately donate or dispose of all items
BB. Follow Colorado's abandoned property statutes, which require reasonable notice to the tenant and a waiting period before disposal✓ Correct
CC. Keep all items as compensation for any unpaid rent
DD. Charge the tenant double rent for every day the property remains

Explanation

Colorado's abandoned property law requires landlords to follow a statutory process: provide written notice to the tenant at their last known address, wait a specified period (generally 15 days for personal property), and then may dispose of or sell the property, with proceeds above costs potentially owed to the tenant.
