Subject: Urgent Concern Regarding Potential Violation of Fair Housing Rights — Reduction or Denial of Services to Family with Children in Sioux Falls, South Dakota Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to you today on behalf of my family in a matter of utmost importance that requires your immediate attention. It has come to our attention that there may be a potential violation of fair housing laws regarding the reduction or denial of services to families with children in one of your properties here in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. As you are aware, fair housing laws protect individuals and families from discrimination, particularly on the grounds of familial status. According to the Fair Housing Act, it is illegal to discriminate against families with children, either by reducing the services provided or outright denying them access to housing opportunities available to other individuals or families. Regrettably, our interactions and observations over the past few months have raised concerns regarding such practices within your property. These concerns include, but may not be limited to, reduced response times to maintenance requests, limited access to common areas, or any other form of disparate treatment that hinders our family's enjoyment and rights within the property. As responsible tenants, we have upheld our obligations by paying rent on time and adhering to the terms outlined in our lease agreement. However, the apparent reduction or denial of services based on the presence of our children is unacceptable and constitutes a violation of our fair housing rights. It is our sincerest hope that this matter is resolved promptly, ensuring that the necessary steps are taken to rectify any discriminatory actions or conditions within the property. We kindly request a comprehensive response addressing the following: 1. Confirmation that our fair housing rights, as outlined by the Fair Housing Act, will be fully recognized and respected by taking immediate action to rectify any discriminatory practices experienced by our family. 2. Detailed information on any policies or circumstances that may have led to the reduction or denial of services to families with children within the property. 3. A written commitment specifying the steps and timeframe in which improvements will be made to rectify any discriminatory conditions, while ensuring equal treatment for all tenants. Failure to address these concerns promptly may leave us with no choice but to seek further legal action to protect our rights under fair housing laws. It is our shared responsibility to create an inclusive and respectful living environment within your property, thus complying with all fair housing standards set forth by the law. We anticipate your prompt attention to this matter and look forward to a swift resolution that upholds the principles of fairness and equality for all residents. Please provide a written response within 10 days of receiving this letter to demonstrate your commitment and to outline the actions taken to address these concerns. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this matter.
