Practice Of Real EstateFair HousingHARD

A Colorado property manager tells a prospective tenant, 'We don't have any units available right now,' when in fact two units are vacant. The property manager later admits he made this statement after learning the applicant was in a same-sex marriage. A fair housing investigator concludes this constitutes discriminatory misrepresentation. Under CADA, which TWO protected classes are most directly implicated by this conduct?

Correct Answer

A) Sexual orientation and marital status

The property manager's conduct implicates two Colorado-specific protected classes under CADA (C.R.S. § 24-34-502): (1) Sexual orientation — the applicant is in a same-sex relationship, and the manager's statement was triggered by this fact; and (2) Marital status — the applicant is married (in a same-sex marriage), and the manager's conduct was also influenced by the marital relationship. Both are Colorado-specific additions to fair housing protections beyond the federal Fair Housing Act.
