Description

This form covers the subject matter described in the form's title for your State. This is a letter from Tenant to Landlord providing notice that Landlord is in violation of the Fair Housing Act through a reduction of denial of services to familiies with children. It is unlawful to deny or discriminate in housing because of race, color, religion, sex, familial status, or national origin. Title: Yonkers, New York Letter from Tenant to Landlord about Fair Housing Reduction or Denial of Services to Family with Children Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. First and foremost, I would like to express my gratitude for providing us with a living space in your property at [address]. However, I am writing to address a concerning matter that has come to my attention. As you may be aware, the Fair Housing Act, enacted in 1968, prohibits discrimination in housing against individuals or families based on their race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, or disability. Recently, I have noticed certain actions or policies associated with our living arrangements that may indicate a reduction of fair housing rights or the denial of services specifically towards families with children. It is important to acknowledge that families with children have equal rights to enjoy the benefits and amenities provided by their housing, just like any other individual or household. This includes access to the full range of facilities and services specified in our lease agreement, as well as the right to a safe and healthy living environment conducive to the growth and development of our children. If any of the following instances have occurred, it suggests a potential violation of fair housing laws: 1. Disparate Treatment: Any unequal treatment of families with children compared to other tenants in terms of lease terms, use of common areas, maintenance response times, or other apartment-related services. This could include reserving certain facilities or amenities exclusively for tenants without children, which creates a division among residents. 2. Unjustified Denial or Restrictions: Imposing unreasonable restrictions on families with children, such as the number of occupants allowed in a unit, occupancy policy enforcement, or limitation of the use of certain facilities due to the presence of children. Denying families the same opportunities as other tenants can lead to feelings of exclusion and inequality. 3. Harassment or Discouragement: Any form of harassment, intimidation, or discouragement that singles out families with children as being less desirable or unwanted within the community. This may involve derogatory comments, differential treatment by staff or other tenants, or any action that creates a hostile living environment for families. 4. Failure to Address Safety Concerns: Neglecting to address safety concerns specifically related to the needs of families with children, such as the absence of childproofing measures, hazardous conditions, or insufficient security measures within the property. Providing a safe environment is crucial in ensuring the well-being of all residents. It is my earnest request that you promptly review the situation to ensure compliance with fair housing laws and take appropriate action, as necessary. I genuinely believe that a fair and inclusive environment benefits both the community and the landlord. I kindly request that you respond to this letter within [reasonable timeframe] to discuss the matter further and provide assurance that our rights as a family living within this property will be fully respected moving forward. Thank you for your prompt attention and consideration of this matter. I look forward to a positive resolution that promotes fairness, equality, and harmony within our community.
