Maria owns a duplex in Denver and lives in one unit. She wants to rent the other unit only to female tenants because she feels more comfortable with a female neighbor. Under the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act (CADA), which statement best describes Maria's situation?

Correct Answer

A) Maria may not restrict tenants by sex because sex is a protected class under CADA regardless of owner occupancy

Under CADA (C.R.S. § 24-34-502), sex (gender) is a protected class, and the owner-occupant exemption does NOT override the prohibition on sex discrimination. The limited exemption for owner-occupied dwellings with two or fewer rental rooms does not permit discrimination based on protected classes such as sex. Maria cannot legally restrict tenants by gender.

Answer Options
A
Maria may not restrict tenants by sex because sex is a protected class under CADA regardless of owner occupancy
B
Maria may restrict tenants by sex only if she posts a notice in the rental advertisement
C
Maria may restrict tenants by sex only after obtaining written approval from the Colorado Civil Rights Division
D
Maria may legally restrict tenants by sex because she is an owner-occupant in a two-unit dwelling
