Rent is about 30% of adjusted household income — there is no flat market rent.

Your rights

Colorado bans source-of-income discrimination statewide under HB20-1332 (effective January 1, 2021) — a landlord generally cannot refuse you simply because you would pay with a Housing Choice Voucher. Landlords with three or fewer rental units are exempt.

Neighborhood

The Five Points area sits just northeast of downtown Denver, served by RTD bus routes with light rail connections along Downing Street.
