This is a sample letter from the Tenant to a Landlord. This letter concerns any Fair Housing Reductions and/or services denied to families with children.
Subject: Urgent Letter Addressing Fair Housing Reduction/Denial of Services to Family with Children at [Property Address] Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to you today to express my concerns regarding the fair housing reduction or denial of services to families with children in our rental community at [Property Address] in Evansville, Indiana. As a tenant residing in this complex and a firm advocate for equal housing opportunities, I believe it is essential to bring this matter to your attention and appeal for immediate resolution. It has come to my attention that certain policies or actions have been implemented within the premises, intentionally or inadvertently, which seem to discriminate against families with children, leading to a reduction in their fair housing rights or the outright denial of crucial services. This concerning issue violates the Fair Housing Act, which prohibits housing discrimination based on familial status. By addressing this matter, we can work together to ensure an inclusive and harmonious living environment for all tenants, regardless of whether they have children or not. Ignoring or neglecting to take action on this matter will only lead to further discontent among the affected families and potential legal implications. To provide a detailed perspective, I want to shed light on possible scenarios that constitute a reduction or denial of fair housing rights for families with children: 1. Excessive Noise Complaints: Numerous and unwarranted noise complaints solely directed towards families with children, even when the noise levels are within acceptable limits and similar to those of other tenants. 2. Restricted Access to Common Amenities: Any restrictions or limitations imposed on families with children that prevent them from using common amenities, such as playgrounds, swimming pools, community rooms, or exercise facilities. 3. Unequal Treatment on Maintenance Requests: Deliberately delaying or prioritizing maintenance requests from families with children, which results in an unequal distribution of services throughout the property. 4. Unfair Allocation of Unit Upgrades: Offering unit upgrades or improvements to tenants without children while excluding or providing less favorable terms to families, thereby causing a disparity in living conditions. This letter aims to establish a productive conversation and collaboration between tenants, the management team, and, most importantly, yourself as the landlord. It is my sincere hope that you, as the responsible party overseeing this rental community, will take immediate and corrective action to rectify any unfair practices, thus safeguarding the basic rights of all tenants, including families with children. To ensure transparency and accountability, I kindly request that a meeting be arranged at the earliest possible time to discuss these concerns thoroughly. During the meeting, I encourage you to address all grievances raised by affected families and outline a plan of action to foster an environment that respects fair housing principles. Together, we can create a safe and inclusive community that upholds the principles of fairness, equality, and respect for all tenants, irrespective of their familial status. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter, and I look forward to your positive response.
