Squatters have rights in Colorado. If a person in your house is awarded squatters rights, you must treat them like they are tenants with a lease.
The law that gives a trespasser squatters rights in Colorado is called adverse possession.
Once the adverse possession law is in place, the squatter can legally stay in the house. It is at this point they must be treated just like a tenant.
EXPERT ADVICE: If you have a tresspaser or someone staying in your property without permission, you must immediately do this! Call the police.
When you call the police, tell them someone has broken into your house. Ask them to remove the intruder. If the police remove the intruder, you don’t have a squatter or squatter problem to deal with.
If the police call you back and tell you that you have a squatter in your house, then I highly recommend you contact a real estate attorney.
