Fair Housing
Under the FHA, a Colorado housing provider who retaliates against a person for filing a fair housing complaint may face:
AA. No additional liability since the original complaint was already filed
BB. Additional FHA violation charges for retaliation, which is itself an independent fair housing violation✓ Correct
CC. Only civil liability, not regulatory action
DD. No consequences if the original claim is later dismissed
Explanation
The Fair Housing Act explicitly prohibits retaliation against anyone who files a complaint, assists in a complaint, or testifies in a fair housing proceeding. Retaliation (such as eviction, harassment, or withholding services) is an independent FHA violation, separate from the underlying discrimination claim.
