Colorado Senate kills bill barring rent-setting algorithms as Democrats spar over company’s role in amendment

A bill aimed at barring landlords from using algorithms to set rents died in the Colorado Senate on Wednesday after a group of moderate Democrats joined Republicans to reject a more forceful House version of the measure.
