Fair HousingIntermediateColorado Exam

A Colorado property management company's written rental criteria explicitly states: 'No Section 8 applicants.' Under Colorado's source of income protection law, this is:

AA. Legal as a private company's right to set tenant criteria
BB. Illegal in Colorado, which prohibits source of income discrimination in housingCorrect
CC. Legal only if the building has fewer than 5 units
DD. Legal if the building is in a jurisdiction that has not adopted source of income protections

Why B. Illegal in Colorado, which prohibits source of income discrimination in housing Is Correct

Answer B: B. Illegal in Colorado, which prohibits source of income discrimination in housing

Colorado's HB 19-1329 (effective 2020) prohibits source of income discrimination statewide, making it illegal to refuse to rent to tenants solely because they use Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers or other lawful income sources. Explicit policies excluding Section 8 violate Colorado law.

Exam Tip: Fair Housing

Fair Housing questions test both federal (Fair Housing Act of 1968) and state-level protected classes. The federal protected classes are race, color, religion, national origin, sex, familial status, and disability. Many states add additional protections.
