State law prohibits the landlord from discontinuing any utility service;

§ 38-12-510. Unlawful removal or exclusion
If the landlord willfully and unlawfully removes the tenant from the premises or willfully and unlawfully causes the termination of heat, running water, hot water, electric, gas, or other essential services, the tenant may seek any remedy available under the law.

The easiest way is to end the tenancy by giving notice;

13-40-107. Notice to quit.
(c) A tenancy of one month or longer but less than six months, ten days;

A verbal agreement is treated as a month to month under Colorado law, thus 10 day notice to terminate.
