Here's what I found:   If it's not in writing - it's in the law as 10 days.  pasted with lots of mistakes from https://www.colorado.gov/pacif...

 month-to-month lease isa rental agreement for a one month period that is renewed automatically each month until properly terminated by either party. When a landlord and a tenant have not executeda written lease and rental payments are made monthly, a month-to-month lease is impliedby law.A month-to-month tenancyis usually created when a tenant moves into a property and pays rent without signing a lease. Itmay also be created when an expiredwrittenlease is not renewed but the tenant remains in the propertyas a “holdover,”with the landlord’s consent. In such a case, if the written lease contains a clause stating that all lease provisions continue to apply after the written leaseexpires and the tenant stays on with amonth-to-month lease, then the rights and responsibilities of each party, as defined by the expired written lease, remain in effect.With any month-to-month lease, the landlord can raise the rent, change or terminate the agreement at the end of each month,with proper written notice to the tenant. The tenant, likewise, can terminate the lease at the end of the month with proper written notice to the landlord. Proper notice for both landlord and tenant must be written and received by the other party at least ten days before the last day of the rental month.(See C.R.S. §13-40-107).However, awritten month-to-month lease may specify a longer notice period, for example, 30 days or 60 days before the end of the lease term.
