HB 24-1057

House Bill 24-1057, which has been signed into law, bans landlords from using algorithms to set rent prices for their properties. This means that landlords can no longer rely on automated systems or data from other landlords to determine how much rent to charge tenants. Violating this rule is considered an unfair practice and could lead to penalties under Colorado’s consumer protection laws. This affects both landlords who use such technology and the tenants they lease to, ensuring more transparency in rental pricing.
