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. Subject: Appeal for Fair Housing Rights of Family with Children in Allentown, Pennsylvania Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my concern regarding what seems to be a fair housing issue concerning my family and me. As you are aware, I am a tenant residing at [property address] in Allentown, Pennsylvania. My purpose in writing this correspondence is to bring to your attention an urgent matter regarding the recent reduction or denial of services, which I believe violates Fair Housing guidelines. First and foremost, I want to highlight the importance of Fair Housing laws and regulations that are designed to ensure equal housing opportunities for every resident, irrespective of their familial status. Under the Fair Housing Act, it is unlawful to discriminate against families with children in any way, including reduction or denial of services or amenities. Despite this legal protection, I have noticed certain actions or decisions taken towards my family that raise concerns, possibly indicating a violation of Fair Housing rights. These are outlined below: 1. Rent Increase Disproportionately Affecting Family with Children: I have recently received notice of an impending rent increase that surpasses the average market rate for comparable units in our neighborhood. This rent hike significantly burdens my family, making it increasingly challenging to afford the necessities like education, healthcare, and childcare. It is crucial to consider that families with children may have unique financial responsibilities and limitations, and such disproportionate increases could potentially deter families from enjoying fair housing opportunities. 2. Restrictive Allocation or Removal of Amenities: I have observed that certain amenities or services, particularly those that are essential for families and their children, have been restricted, removed, or become unavailable to us. For instance, the closure of the on-site daycare facility, playground, or community center has significantly impacted the quality of life for the children living in our, and possibly other, families. As responsible landlords, it is important to acknowledge and address the unique needs of families with children, ensuring equal access to necessary amenities. 3. Disparate Treatment in Maintenance or Repair Services: Another disconcerting observation is the differential treatment we have experienced when requesting maintenance or repair services. There have been instances where necessary repairs, affecting the safety or habitability of our unit, were delayed or not carried out promptly. This unjust postponement can adversely affect the well-being of children, and it is crucial to prioritize their safety and comfort as tenants under Fair Housing laws. I write this letter not to confront or accuse but rather to engage in a constructive dialogue with you, as our landlord, to ensure a mutually beneficial resolution that aligns with the principles of Fair Housing. I request that you promptly address these issues and work towards rectifying any possible breaches of Fair Housing rights. In the spirit of collaboration, I kindly propose the following actions to remedy the situation: 1. Reconsidering the Rent Increase: Please reconsider the amount of the proposed rent increase, as it places an undue burden on my family, challenging our ability to afford essential necessities. I kindly request that you reevaluate this increase, considering the financial constraints faced by families with children. 2. Restoration of Essential Amenities: To foster a safe and healthy environment for children, I kindly request the reinstatement or provision of alternative facilities for essential amenities such as the daycare, playground, or community center. These amenities form the basis for ensuring children's physical, social, and intellectual development. 3. Timely and Equitable Maintenance Services: Please ensure that maintenance and repair services are carried out promptly and equitably for all tenants, regardless of familial status. This will prevent any compromises to the health, safety, or well-being of children and maintain the fair housing standards required by law. I appreciate your attention to this matter and respect your commitment to upholding fair housing principles. I firmly believe that by addressing these concerns, we can establish a more harmonious landlord-tenant relationship and contribute to a community that embraces diversity and equal opportunities for all. In the event that these concerns are not addressed satisfactorily or meaningful progress is not achieved, I may be left with no choice but to file a formal complaint with the local Fair Housing authorities, as protecting our rights and advocating for fair treatment are my utmost priorities. I kindly request your prompt acknowledgment and a written response outlining the steps you intend to take to rectify this matter. Please feel free to contact me at [Your Contact Information] to arrange a convenient time for discussing this further. Thank you for your attention and cooperation. I look forward to resolving this matter amicably. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number]
