Fair Housing
In Michigan, a real estate agent whose client makes discriminatory requests (such as 'don't show us homes in a neighborhood with many immigrants') should:
AFollow the client's instructions since the client is paying
BRefuse to follow discriminatory instructions and explain their fair housing obligations to the client✓ Correct
CAsk LARA for guidance before showing any properties
DAccept the instructions as the client's legal right
Explanation
Michigan licensees must refuse to follow client instructions that are discriminatory under fair housing law. Complying with discriminatory instructions would make the agent complicit in a fair housing violation, jeopardizing their license and exposing them to legal liability.
