A national housing watchdog group on Wednesday filed a federal lawsuit against Century 21 Real Estate LLC and a Detroit-area franchisee alleging racial discrimination in steering potential homebuyers.
The National Fair Housing Alliance’s suit comes on the same day the Michigan Department of Civil Rights announced a charge of discrimination against the franchisee and its owner.
The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Detroit, alleges that Century 21 Town & Country real estate agents are engaged in unlawful racial steering by showing potential black homebuyers homes in primarily black neighborhoods and potential white homebuyers homes in primarily white neighborhoods.
