What are the laws in evicting someone in Colorado?

I am a renter. I was given to August 4th to pay rent and late fees for the month of July. Will I just be automatically be evicted if I don't come up with all of the rent money by then? Please keep in mind that I will be able to pay for two months rent and late fees after the 13th of August when my check comes in the mail to me.

Answers:
You can stay forever without paying rent if the landlord doesn't go to court and get a 'order to vacate'. Your landlord can never force you out by himself; he needs the authority of a court. While laws vary by state, most jurisdictions give the deadbeat tenant at least 30 days to vacate after a judge hears the case.

Your landlord has to go to the courthouse and file for eviction. Then he will get a court date. At that hearing, he will present evidence as to why you should be removed (non-payment of rent is a good one). You will have the opportunity to present evidence as to why you shouldn't be removed. The judge will make a decision (against you), and give you a number of days to leave. If you don't leave by the stated date, the landlord will call the local sheriff/ magistrate/ police and remove you by force. If your landlord has not started any legal action as of today, you should be safe for 45-60 days from now. After that, you will be living in your car. Some states give you 15 days or less after a judgment has been entered.

Keep in mind that you are still liable for any and all expenses that you incur as a result of your living there. You can be sued for back rent, damages, etc, even if you are evicted. Eviction does not wipe the slate clean.

i don't know about Colorado but here in Chicago they have to give you a notice and then after the notice is up they have to go file a claim against you in civil court and then you get a court date to plead you case and then the judge give you time to move out call you local court and ask them for eviction court and ask them every state has to have a eviction court
