Colorado Source of income discrimination

Can a landlord refuse Section 8 or other source of income in Colorado?

Yes, with exemptions. Colorado bans refusing to rent because of a person's source of income (C.R.S. § 24-34-502(1)(l)). The source-of-income rules in (1)(l) to (1)(p) do not apply to a landlord with three or fewer units for rent (§ 24-34-502(1.5)(a)). Separately, a landlord with five or fewer single-family rental homes and no more than five total units need not accept federal housing choice vouchers for those homes (§ 24-34-502(1.7)).
