Subject: Urgent Matter — Fair Housing Reduction or Denial of Services to Family with Children in Oakland, Michigan [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, Zip Code] Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a pressing matter that concerns the fair housing rights of my family and me in our rental property at [Address]. As a tenant residing in Oakland, Michigan, I would like to discuss the issues we have been facing and request your prompt attention to resolve this matter. Firstly, let me emphasize that as a landlord, you have an obligation to adhere to federal and state fair housing laws that prevent discrimination against families with children. The Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination based on familial status, among other protected characteristics, ensuring that families like mine are treated fairly and equally in the housing sector. Unfortunately, I regret to inform you that we have experienced a reduction in services or, even worse, have had essential services denied to us, solely due to the presence of our children. This discriminatory treatment has caused significant distress and disruption to our daily lives, violating our rights as tenants and undermining the fundamental principles of fair housing. To provide you with a clear understanding of the incidents we have encountered, I would like to outline the specific instances of fair housing reduction or denial of services: 1. Maintenance Negligence: — Despite promptly reporting maintenance issues, repair requests related to our unit have been systematically delayed or ignored, often for an unjustifiable period of time. — We have observed instances where repairs were efficiently carried out in other units occupied by tenants without children, exposing a clear bias against families living in the property. 2. Restrictions on Common Amenities and Facilities: — We have noticed discriminatory rules being imposed that restrict children's access to common areas, such as the playground, swimming pool, or community room, while tenants without children face no such limitations. — Denying our children equitable enjoyment of these amenities is a clear violation of fair housing rights and creates an unwelcoming and discriminatory environment. 3. Unreasonable Lease Terms: — The lease agreement contains provisions that place an undue burden on families with children, which are not imposed upon tenants without children. — For instance, the imposition of specific noise limitations or restrictions on childproofing the property infringes on our rights as tenants and goes against the principles of fair housing. I urge you to take immediate action to address these matters and ensure that our family is treated fairly, without discrimination or prejudice. As a landlord, it is your responsibility to maintain a safe, inclusive, and welcoming environment for all tenants, regardless of familial status. I kindly request the following actions to rectify this situation and to meet the requirements of fair housing laws: 1. Promptly address all outstanding maintenance issues within a reasonable timeframe, treating our requests equally to those of other tenants. 2. Revise any discriminatory rules or policies that limit our children's access to common amenities, ensuring they have equal opportunities for enjoyment. 3. Review the lease agreement, removing any provisions that unfairly burden families with children and ensuring it complies with fair housing principles. Please be aware that any continued fair housing violations may result in legal consequences, as protected by federal and state laws, including the possibility of filing a formal complaint with the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) or pursuing legal action. I genuinely hope that we can resolve this matter amicably and promptly, allowing our family to continue living in a safe and fair environment. To discuss this further, I kindly request a meeting within the next ten days at a mutually agreeable time. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I trust that you will address these concerns promptly, and I look forward to a positive resolution that upholds the principles of fair housing and rights of tenants and their families. Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
