CAA Legislative Highlights:
Major Legislative Priorities and Actions
The 2025 session saw another surge in tenant rights legislation, with CAA fighting to moderate or oppose many of the proposed measures.
HB25-1004
Algorithmic Rent Pricing
Position: Amend, Veto Requested
This bill prohibits the use of algorithmic devices for rent pricing coordination, treating them as illegal restraints of trade. CAA strongly opposed the final version, deeming it unworkable, and requested a gubernatorial veto.
HB25-1235
Jury Trials in Evictions FAILED
Position: Oppose
After passing the House by a single vote, this bill failed in the Senate Judiciary Committee. It would have granted jury trials in eviction proceedings— creating delays and financial burdens for housing providers.
HB 25-1093
Limiting Anti-Growth Laws PASSED
Position: Support
This bill restricts local governments from passing laws that reduce residential density in urban areas, unless offset by increased housing elsewhere.
HB25-1273
Smart Stairs in Multifamily Buildings PASSED
Position: Support
Allows construction of up to five-story multifamily buildings with a single stairwell, reducing development costs while maintaining safety standards.
HB25-1092
Fair Market Rent Increases FAILED
Position: Support
This bill would have clarified that rent increases aligned with market rates are not discriminatory or retaliatory. www. aamdhq. org 11 | TRENDS JUNE 2025
