Fair HousingIntermediateColorado Exam

Under Colorado law, the 'source of income' protection in housing means landlords in covered jurisdictions cannot refuse to rent to tenants who:

AHave low credit scores
BPay rent using housing vouchers or other government assistance programsCorrect
CWork in certain professions, a pattern seen in many similar transactions
DHave student loan debt

Why Pay rent using housing vouchers or other government assistance programs Is Correct

Answer B: Pay rent using housing vouchers or other government assistance programs

Colorado's source of income protection prevents landlords from refusing to rent to tenants solely because they pay using housing vouchers (Section 8), public assistance, or other lawful income sources in jurisdictions where this protection applies. In Colorado, fair housing protections are enforced by the Colorado Civil Rights Division (CCRD) under the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act and Colorado Fair Housing Act.

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.
