Title: Long Beach California Letter from Tenant to Landlord about Fair Housing Reduction or Denial of Services to Family with Children Keywords: Long Beach California, letter, tenant, landlord, fair housing reduction, denial of services, family with children --- [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Complaint about Fair Housing Reduction or Denial of Services to Family with Children at [Rental Property Address] Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a matter of utmost concern regarding the treatment of my family as tenants in the [Rental Property Address], which may potentially be in violation of fair housing laws and regulations in Long Beach, California. As you may be aware, the Fair Housing Act prohibits any form of housing discrimination based on familial status, which includes refusing to rent or imposing different terms and conditions due to the presence of children. Unfortunately, it has come to my attention that my family has been subjected to what we perceive as a reduction in fair housing services or even the denial of certain amenities and privileges solely due to the fact that we have children. Specifically, I have noticed the following issues that have directly impacted our enjoyment of the rental property: 1. Lack of maintenance and repairs: It has been increasingly difficult to have maintenance issues promptly addressed, especially those that affect the safety and livability of our unit. I believe that our requests for repairs have been prioritized or ignored altogether, whereas other tenants without children seem to receive prompt attention. 2. Restricted access to common areas: We have been made aware of restrictions placed upon our family's access to community spaces such as the playground, recreational facilities, or social areas that are readily available to other tenants. This discriminatory limitation deprives our children of their right to freely enjoy the amenities we are entitled to under our lease agreement. 3. Unequal enforcement of lease rules: Our family has noticed that certain lease regulations pertaining to child-related matters, such as noise levels or curfew, are disproportionately enforced against us. This inconsistent application of regulations appears to be tied solely to the presence of children and unfairly targets our family. 4. Selective policy enforcement: We have noticed instances where certain families with children have been subjected to unreasonably strict scrutiny or additional requirements, such as higher security deposits or stricter credit checks, that are not imposed on tenants without children. This differential treatment is discriminatory and contrary to fair housing principles. It is my sincere hope that you are unaware of these issues and that they can be addressed promptly and amicably. I kindly request a meeting to discuss these concerns in person, to ensure open communication and an opportunity for resolution. I believe that resolving any potential fair housing issues benefits not just my family but the entire community and your reputation as a landlord. Furthermore, I trust that you will investigate the matter thoroughly and take the necessary steps to rectify these discriminatory actions. Should the issues persist or remain unaddressed, I may be compelled to seek counseling from fair housing organizations or file a formal complaint with the appropriate authorities. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response and resolution of these concerns. I believe that by addressing these issues, we can foster a fair and welcoming environment for all residents.
