Property Management

A Colorado tenant who is a victim of domestic violence may terminate their lease early under Colorado law by:

AA. Simply stopping rent payments
BB. Providing written notice and documentation of the domestic violence to the landlord, entitling them to early termination without penalty✓ Correct
CC. Filing a civil lawsuit against the landlord
DD. There are no special provisions for domestic violence victims in Colorado

Explanation

Colorado's 'Safe Homes for Victims Act' (C.R.S. § 38-12-401 et seq.) allows tenants who are victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking to terminate a lease early by providing written notice and supporting documentation. The landlord cannot impose an early termination penalty in these circumstances.
