Colorado landlords filing suit over unpaid rent again

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

Why this matters

A Lafayette brewery is being sued for $130,000 in back rent, part of a broader pattern of commercial landlords pursuing tenants in court across Colorado. When a business falls behind by that amount, it signals the gap between what a lease requires and what the operation can actually generate. For an indie restaurant or bar operator on a long-term lease, back rent at that scale is almost always a slow bleed, not a sudden event. If your sales are down, your landlord's patience has a legal ceiling.

What to do

Reread your lease's default and cure clauses so you know exactly how many days of missed rent trigger a lawsuit before one lands on you.
