DU sues city over $232K affordable housing fee it paid to build dorm Courtesy of University of Denver) The University of Denver has sued the city over a fee it paid in connection with the construction of a new residence hall. The nonprofit private school argues in a lawsuit filed last week in Denver County District Court that it should be exempt from paying the city’s Affordable Housing Linkage Fee, which in its case ran $232,000. That fee is assessed by the city on projects that are deemed to cause a need for new affordable housing. The university is arguing that its residence hall did not prompt any additional need, and in fact added more housing to the broader market by lessening the amount of DU students living off campus.
