Practice Of Real EstateFair HousingHARD

A buyer files a CADA housing discrimination complaint with the Colorado Civil Rights Division. After investigation, the CCRD finds no probable cause. The buyer disagrees with this finding. Under Colorado law, what is the buyer's MOST appropriate next step to continue pursuing the fair housing claim?

Correct Answer

B) Request reconsideration or appeal the CCRD's no-probable-cause finding through the Colorado Civil Rights Commission.

Under CADA and the CCRD process, C.R.S. § 24-34-306 and § 24-34-307, when the CCRD issues a no-probable-cause determination, the complainant has the right to seek reconsideration or appeal to the Colorado Civil Rights Commission (CCRC), which is the oversight body that reviews CCRD decisions. This is the proper administrative appeal channel before pursuing other options.

Answer Options
A
File a new complaint with the Colorado Real Estate Commission for a fresh investigation.
B
Request reconsideration or appeal the CCRD's no-probable-cause finding through the Colorado Civil Rights Commission.
C
Immediately file a civil lawsuit in Colorado District Court, as the CCRD finding bars any further administrative action.
D
File a complaint with the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies, which supervises the CCRD.
