Fair Housing
A Colorado HOA that enforces covenants selectively — applying restrictions strictly to minority homeowners but overlooking similar violations by white homeowners — is engaging in:
AA. Legitimate covenant enforcement
BB. Illegal racial discrimination in violation of the Fair Housing Act and the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act✓ Correct
CC. A permissible exercise of HOA discretion
DD. A private matter not covered by fair housing laws
Explanation
Selective enforcement of HOA covenants based on race or other protected characteristics is illegal under both the federal Fair Housing Act and Colorado's CADA. HOAs must apply rules and covenants consistently to all members regardless of protected class status.
