Property Management

A Colorado landlord's refusal to accept personal checks from a tenant (requiring only cashier's checks or money orders) is:

AA. Prohibited by Colorado law
BB. Generally permissible if applied consistently to all tenants and specified in the lease agreement✓ Correct
CC. Only allowed for commercial tenants
DD. Prohibited as discriminatory

Explanation

A landlord's payment method requirements are generally a matter of contract. A landlord may specify in the lease that rent must be paid by cashier's check or money order, provided this requirement is applied consistently to all tenants and is specified in the written rental agreement. It is not per se discriminatory as long as it applies uniformly.
