However, you risk being sued for rent and, at the very least, you will lose part of your security deposit. You should be aware that many landlords in Durango require an eight month lease so consider this long term commitment before moving in. Check your lease for specific details. A landlord may also refuse to re-rent to you after the lease expires. No reason must be given for this notice.
Actual evictions require less notice.
If you pay the rent, no problem. If you do not pay the rent, you should move out by the third day. If the lease specifies no pets, and you get a dog, your landlord may evict you for breach of lease. It is a good idea to get to know your neighbors and those living in your area. That way, if there are any problems, you and your neighbors can work them out before any other measures are taken.
