Title: Aurora Colorado Letter from Tenant to Landlord about Fair Housing Reduction or Denial of Services to Family with Children Introduction: Dear [Landlord's Name], I am writing this letter to bring an important matter to your attention regarding fair housing practices concerning my family in [rental property address]. As a responsible and concerned tenant, I feel obligated to address a recent issue that I believe may be in violation of fair housing laws. I kindly request your immediate attention and consideration in rectifying this situation. 1. Discriminatory Housing Practices: It has come to my attention that certain services and benefits have been unfairly reduced or denied to my family, which I believe is solely due to the fact that we have children. Please understand that this discrimination is a direct violation of the Fair Housing Act, which prohibits such practices on the basis of familial status. 2. Housing Rights of Families with Children: Under the Fair Housing Act, it is illegal to discriminate against families with children, including withholding housing services, reducing amenities, or imposing restrictions solely based on having children. Therefore, it is essential that you recognize and address any actions that may infringe upon our rights as tenants and as a family. 3. Reduction/Denial of Services and Benefits: Please be aware of the specific instances where services, amenities, or benefits have been unjustly reduced or denied to our family due to the presence of children. It is important to provide detailed examples, such as: a. Shared common areas: If our children are not allowed to use certain common areas, such as playgrounds, swimming pools, or other facilities that are available to other tenants or households, it constitutes discriminatory treatment. b. Lease terms: If there are restrictions in our lease agreement that solely limit our children's access or use of certain areas, facilities, or amenities, it qualifies as unfair treatment. c. Maintenance requests: If any maintenance requests related to child safety or any repairs specific to children's needs have been neglected or postponed without valid reasons, this demonstrates discriminatory behavior. d. Allocation of resources: If resources meant for the children, such as educational materials, daycare facilities, or appropriate play areas, are insufficient or withheld, it raises concerns about their rights being disregarded. 4. Resolution and Request for Fair Treatment: I highly value our tenancy, and it is my sincere hope that we can address this matter effectively and promptly. I kindly request the following: a. Immediate action: I urge you to take necessary steps to rectify any discriminatory practices, reinstating all services and benefits that have been denied or reduced due to our children. b. Written response: Please provide a written response outlining the actions you will take to ensure equal housing opportunities for our family. c. Certification: If any changes are made, I request written documentation certifying that these changes have been implemented and that our family will no longer face unfair treatment based on familial status. Conclusion: In closing, I strongly believe that it is in both our interests to resolve this matter amicably and in compliance with fair housing laws. I trust that you will take swift action in addressing these concerns and upholding the principles of fair housing for all tenants, particularly families. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.
