Correct Answer

B) Legal, because private clubs that are not open to the public may restrict lodging to members, provided membership is not restricted based on protected classes

Under CADA and consistent with the federal Fair Housing Act (42 U.S.C. § 3607), a private club that is not open to the public may restrict the use of its lodgings to its own members without violating fair housing law, provided that the club's membership criteria do not themselves discriminate based on protected classes. This is a recognized private club exemption.

Illegal, because any rental of 12 or more rooms must comply with all provisions of CADA without exception
B
Legal, because private clubs that are not open to the public may restrict lodging to members, provided membership is not restricted based on protected classes
C
Legal only if the club files a non-discrimination plan with the Colorado Civil Rights Division
D
Illegal, because the lodge constitutes a public accommodation under CADA and must be open to all
