The owner and manager of an apartment complex in La Crosse have agreed to pay over 57,000 to settle a federal discrimination suit.
The U.S. Justice Department said the manager of Geneva Terrace told prospective African-American renters that apartments were not available, while telling Caucasian renters that they were available.
Justice officials said the defendants will pay $47,000 to the couple who was turned away for an apartment, even though the building had signs advertising vacancies. The Geneva Terrace owner and manager must also pay a civil penalty of $10,000.
