Fair HousingIntermediateColorado Exam

Under Colorado law, a property manager who posts 'No vouchers accepted' on a rental listing is:

AA. Legally advertising their rental criteria
BB. Violating Colorado's source of income protection (HB 19-1329), which prohibits refusing to rent to lawful income sources including housing vouchersCorrect
CC. Legal if the landlord is a private individual, which is why practitioners are generally advised to confirm the specific rule with local counsel or the relevant agency
DD. Only illegal if it also mentions race

Why B. Violating Colorado's source of income protection (HB 19-1329), which prohibits refusing to rent to lawful income sources including housing vouchers Is Correct

Answer B: B. Violating Colorado's source of income protection (HB 19-1329), which prohibits refusing to rent to lawful income sources including housing vouchers

Colorado's HB 19-1329 (effective January 1, 2020) makes it illegal for landlords to discriminate against tenants based on their lawful source of income, including Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers and other subsidies. Advertising 'no vouchers' explicitly violates this law and can result in a complaint to the Colorado Civil Rights Division.

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.
