    I would stay on the safe side. Give him a 3 day pay or quit notice. If he still doesn't vacate then file for eviction.

    In Colorado, he has no rights, since the two of you are on the lease, you have the right to file trespassing charges. He is staying without your suthorization, and could be charged with trespassing charges since you don't want him there. Another way is to get a restraining order through the courts.

    Please cite the CO law that would make him a trespasser? Also filing a restraining order would only apply if there was an issue of violence.
