Under Colorado's fair housing laws, which of the following circumstances would NOT qualify a property transaction for any recognized exemption from anti-discrimination requirements?

Correct Answer

D) A landlord refusing to rent to a tenant based on the tenant's disability in an owner-occupied four-unit building

Refusing to rent based on disability is NEVER exempt under Colorado's fair housing law. Disability is a protected class under both the federal Fair Housing Act and CADA (C.R.S. § 24-34-502). No exemption — including the owner-occupancy exemption — permits discrimination based on disability. The owner-occupancy exemption for small dwellings does not override the prohibition on disability discrimination, making option D the scenario that would NOT qualify for any exemption.

Answer Options
A
An owner-occupied single-family home sold privately without a broker and without discriminatory advertising
B
A private club restricting its lodge rentals to club members where membership is not based on protected class status
C
A religious organization renting housing it owns to members of its religion for non-commercial purposes
D
A landlord refusing to rent to a tenant based on the tenant's disability in an owner-occupied four-unit building
