Title
HB25 – 1004 No Pricing Coordination Between Landlords Vetoed by the Governer
Article
We received news late Thursday that HB25-1004, No Pricing Coordination Between Landlords, was vetoed by Governor Polis! This bill was one of our lingering concerns as we moved into the post-session environment, due to the overwhelming changes it would have brought to the simple act of pricing rental properties, and we had previously urged the Governor to veto it. The CHC agrees that true collusion between housing providers is wrong, and is already illegal, however, this bill would not have prevented further illegal activity from true bad actors, it would only have made it more difficult for all housing providers to offer a fair rent rate to prospective residents. Thank you again to all of our members, who make this possible. Please share this great news with your fellow housing providers, and encourage them to join the CHC!
