Penalty Amount
$30,000
Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser announced a settlement with Sares Regis Group, a Denver-metro property management company, after an investigation found it told prospective tenants that rental subsidies and housing vouchers were not accepted at its properties, in violation of the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act and the Colorado Consumer Protection Act. Under the settlement, the company must adopt written source-of-income policies, train leasing employees, submit a compliance report to the AG's office, and refrain from misrepresenting its voucher acceptance, and it pays $30,000 to the Housing Rights Initiative. Note: this is a fair-housing enforcement action, not a privacy matter, so no privacy violation taxonomy categories apply.
Sares Regis Group must comply with all state and federal housing laws including source-of-income nondiscrimination, adopt and implement written policies ensuring acceptance of lawful sources of income including housing vouchers, train employees involved in leasing and tenant communications on fair housing requirements, and provide a compliance report to the attorney general's office detailing its policies and whether it is renting to tenants using rental assistance. The agreement also prohibits the company from misrepresenting whether it accepts housing vouchers or other lawful sources of income in the future, and it must pay $30,000 to the Housing Rights Initiative to support fair housing enforcement and education efforts.
Although this is a fair-housing enforcement action rather than a privacy matter, in-house teams overseeing property management or real estate operations should review property management agreements, leasing vendor and marketing/advertising contracts, and employee training policies for source-of-income nondiscrimination language. Check compliance-with-law clauses requiring adherence to the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act and federal fair housing laws; verify that tenant qualification criteria, leasing scripts, and third-party leasing agent instructions do not exclude Housing Choice Vouchers or Section 8; and confirm agreements obligate staff training and periodic compliance reporting on voucher acceptance. Standard privacy contract clauses (data processing, breach notification, opt-out mechanisms) are not implicated here, but representations-and-warranties regarding regulatory compliance in property management and leasing agreements should be updated to expressly cover lawful-source-of-income obligations and accurate communications with prospective tenants.

Colorado and a bipartisan coalition of attorneys general reached a $2,287,455 settlement with Laboratory Corporation of America over the 2019 data breach at its debt collector, American Medical Collection Agency.

Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser joined a coalition of 12 attorneys general in settling a lawsuit against Paramount Skydance Corporation over its merger with Warner Bros. Discovery, which the states alleged would harm competition by lowering film output and raising prices. The settlement includes a five-year commitment to increase film output, a $1.5 billion investment in domestic production, a $47.5 million worker fund, and an independent monitor. This is an antitrust/competition enforcement action, not a privacy enforcement action, despite the extraction schema's privacy focus.
