C.R.S. Section 29-4-210
Rentals and tenant selection

(1)

In the operation or management of housing projects, any housing authority at all times shall observe the following duties with respect to rentals and tenant selection:

(a)

It may rent or lease dwelling accommodations therein only to persons of low income, being persons receiving incomes less than the incomes which, according to the determination of the authority, persons must receive to enable them to pay the rent necessary to secure safe and sanitary dwelling accommodations within the boundaries of the authority, except such dwelling accommodations as are provided by the authority or the city.

(a.5)

Notwithstanding the limitations of paragraph (a) of this subsection (1), a housing authority may rent or lease dwelling accommodations therein to:

(I)

Persons who, by virtue of age or disability, have special housing needs or requirements that cannot reasonably be met by existing housing available within the boundaries of the authority; and

(II)

Other persons, without regard to income, in a manner consistent with the provisions of section 29-4-203 (12).

(b)

It may rent or lease the dwelling accommodations therein only at rentals within the financial reach of such persons of low income.

(c)

It may rent or lease to a tenant dwelling accommodations consisting of the number of rooms, but no greater number than that which it deems necessary to provide safe and sanitary accommodations to the proposed occupants thereof without overcrowding.

(d)

It shall not accept any family as a tenant in dwelling accommodations that are provided for persons of low income if the family who would occupy the dwelling accommodations has a net annual income in excess of five times the annual rental of the dwelling accommodations to be furnished, after allowing all exemptions available to families occupying dwellings in low rent housing authorized under the act of Congress of the United States known as the “United States Housing Act of 1937”, as amended. In computing such rental, for the purpose of selecting tenants, there shall be included in the rental the average annual cost to the occupant, as determined by the authority, of heat, water, electricity, gas, and other necessary services or facilities, whether or not the charge for such services and facilities is in fact included in the rental.

(2)

Nothing in this part 2 shall be construed as limiting the power of an authority:

(a)

To vest in an obligee the right, in the event of default by the authority, to take possession of a housing project or cause the appointment of a receiver thereof, free from all the restrictions imposed by this part 2 with respect to rentals, tenant selection, manner of operation, or otherwise;

(b)

To vest in obligees, pursuant to section 29-4-217, the right, in the event of default by the authority, to acquire title to a housing project or the property mortgaged by the housing authority, free from all the restrictions imposed by this part 2 except those imposed by sections 29-4-217 and 29-4-222.
