Colorado restaurant lease disputes to watch this spring

Original headline: “The Docket: Real estate lawsuit roundup for 4.30.26”

Why this matters

A new wave of real estate lawsuits is moving through Colorado courts, covering landlord-tenant disputes, lease defaults, and commercial eviction proceedings. For independent restaurant operators in the state, active litigation in the local real estate market signals that landlords are enforcing lease terms more aggressively than in recent years. If your lease has personal guarantee clauses, co-tenancy provisions, or force majeure language that has never been tested, a wave of court decisions could set precedents that affect your next renewal negotiation.

What to do

Reread your lease's default, personal guarantee, and renewal option sections this week so you know exactly where you stand before your next landlord conversation.
