A Michigan real estate agent named Lisa is approached by a neighborhood association that asks her to discourage buyers of certain national origins from purchasing homes in their subdivision. Lisa refuses and reports the request. Under which Michigan law would the neighborhood association's conduct be prohibited?

Correct Answer

C) Michigan Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act, Act 453 of 1976

The Michigan Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act (MCL 37.2502) prohibits any person from discriminating in the sale or rental of housing based on national origin, among other protected classes. Encouraging or inducing an agent to steer buyers based on national origin violates this Act. National origin is protected under both Elliott-Larsen and the federal Fair Housing Act.
