Colorado Real Estate Commission seeks injuction against property manager

(DENVER POST) - The Colorado Real Estate Commission has filed for a preliminary and permanent injunction against Mile High Management, a day after 9Wants to Know aired its investigation into the company.

The Real Estate Commission demands that Mile High Management stop operating without a broker’s license, according to the court filing that also lists numerous homeowners who complain that the company collected money but did not forward some or any of the money to landlords.

“The landlords’ complaints received from March 2009 to October 2009 allege that MHM collected security deposits, rental payments and late fees from tenants, but failed to forward some or all of such funds to the landlords,” according to the complaint filed Monday by Colorado Attorney General John Suthers in Arapahoe County District Court.

The Division of Real Estate provided 9Wants to Know with copies of 10 complaints by landlords and renters against Mile High Management or its owner, Kevin Allen. The Arapahoe County District Attorney’s Office confirmed it also received complaints against the company, which also has operated under the name Move in Colorado.

Three lawsuits filed by landlords against Mile High Management or Allen claim he owes homeowners $21,991, according to court records obtained by 9Wants to Know. Two of the lawsuits are closed, and one is pending.
