Avail Property Management Inc. and PK Management, LLC

Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser announced a settlement with Avail Property Management Inc. and PK Management, LLC resolving allegations that the companies denied prospective tenants housing based on criminal history information prohibited under Colorado's Rental Application Fairness Act, including arrests, deferred judgments, and convictions older than five years (some more than 20 years old). The companies, which managed nearly 4,000 rental units across Colorado, relied on a third-party background screening service despite legal prohibitions. Under the settlement, they must change screening practices, review vendor recommendations rather than relying on them automatically, submit to two years of compliance reporting, and pay $300,000.
