Code 92.008, which deals with the unlawful disconnection of utilities, it seems pretty clear that this is not prohibited.

So, with NO intent to hijack the thread (you must read to the end to see that I do not) I offer to @Andres Piedra and you, the following FEW things that I did right and the many that I'd do differently.........in no particular order....they are ALL important in their own way:Find TWO things/actions to praise for every thing/action you must correct or punish.

Because the thaw isn't expected to be over until Tuesday, I will allow her Tues, Wed, Thur to get her funds together and if she doesn't, I will have my attorney file the unlawful detainer on Friday the 15th.

Its still unlawful to hide anything material from the buyers, so mention that to the sellers, grab the property disclosure form off of DORA colorado, and see what you can put together!

Common sense/body language and eye contact is major in the pre screening process.Prior to becoming a member on BP, a lot of my experience came from trial and error, I don't use a property manager , I am my property manager, so am involved in all aspects of the my rental properties.Since joining BP, I have tightened up my lease a bit to include things I actually didn't think of from reading the discussions on various topics and situation pertaining to landlord issues.Outside of reading/interpreting/ understanding and applying the local landlord tenant law, I learned quite a bit from just sitting in court for an unlawful detainer and hearing other landlords/PMs discuss unlawful detainer cases, prior to mine being called and I took notes to apply to my process.

Secondly, unless you're an attorney you probably shouldn't be giving legal advice without at least having a disclaimer or showing some examples of case law in order to prove your point.Here's a link to The Fair Housing Act:http://www.justice.gov/crt/about/hce/title8.phpand here's the specific section that I believe, although I'm not an attorney, proves my point.Sec. 804.[42 U.S.C. 3604] Discrimination in sale or rental of housing and other prohibited practices As made applicable by section 803 of this title and except as exempted by sections 803(b) and 807 of this title, it shall be unlawful-- (a)To refuse to sell or rent after the making of a bona fide offer, or to refuse to negotiate for the sale or rental of, or otherwise make unavailable or deny, a dwelling to any person because of race, color, religion, sex, familial status, or national origin.

Mortgage fraud is a serious crime, and one punished by significant penalties.

If an eviction took me months to complete then I'd consider it but I really have no desire to reward when I should be punishing.

Others agree with that position, but know that if they end up in court there are certain judges who will rule against them on this ambiguous area, in some cases punishingly so.I'm sorry, but what has been posted on this topic is not "misinformation", period.

Monitor property for occupancy and be ready to move fast to serve former owner with statutory unlawful detainer documentation at first opportunity.
