Seligman Will Be the Attorney General for Renters: Taking on Corporate Landlords, Ending Junk Fees, and Protecting Renters’ Rights

Denver, CO – Today, David Seligman laid out his case for being an Attorney General for renters: his experience taking on corporate landlords who gouge Coloradans, and how, as Attorney General, he would bring the weight of the office to support the 1 in 3 Coloradans who rent their home.

As AG, Seligman would institute a Safe Housing Conditions Strike Force to respond within 24 hours to renters across Colorado forced to live in uninhabitable conditions, and send a clear message to corporate landlords that he’ll treat these threats as seriously as any other threat to our safety and welfare in Colorado. He’d also lead the charge against the country to take on corporate landlords jacking up rents with junk fees and packing their fine-print leases with illegal terms. He has already taken on legal battles on behalf of tens of thousands of renters against corporate landlord behemoths like Greystar, which jack up rents and force renters to live in uninhabitable conditions, and pack their leases with illegal terms and junk fees.

Seligman’s efforts to protect renters also extend to advocacy at the state legislature. Seligman fought to pass a ban on algorithmic pricing by landlords that was vetoed by Governor Polis and drafted and helped pass first-in-the-nation junk fee legislation. Among other things, as attorney general, he’ll fight to repeal prohibitions on local control over rent stabilization policies and to prohibit private equity ownership of housing.

“I’ll be the attorney general for renters. We need someone in the Attorney General’s office who is ready to stand up to private equity and corporate monopolies buying up Colorado homes and making it impossible to live here. Thousands of people across this state are getting ripped off or being forced to live in squalid living conditions while corporate landlords cash in. I’ve been taking on this fight for years, and I’m ready to take this fight to the Goliaths ripping us off and use the laws on the books to hold them accountable,” said Seligman today.
