| A Seattle apartment complex has agreed to a $110,000 penalty for discriminating against Indians, African Americans and Hispanics to settle a Justice Department lawsuit.
The lawsuit charged that the 268-unit Summerhill Place Apartments “steered Indian tenants away from the Summerhill buildings and treated tenants from India less favorably than other tenants.” The owner, management company and a former manager will pay $85,000 in restitution to tenants and prospective tenants harmed by the discrimination and a $25,000 civil penalty to the government.
