Denver-area landlords pursuing tenants hard for back rent

Original headline: The Docket: Real estate lawsuit roundup for 6.25.26

Why this matters

A Lafayette brewery is facing a $130,000 lawsuit for unpaid rent, part of a wave of commercial lease disputes hitting Colorado operators this year. Landlords who held back during the pandemic years are now litigating aggressively, and six-figure back-rent claims are no longer rare. If you are behind on rent, in a renewal window, or operating on a verbal understanding with your landlord, your exposure is real and the courthouse is getting busier.

What to do

Reread your lease this week and document every payment, deferral agreement, or modification in writing before your next landlord conversation.
