Subject: Urgent Matter — Fair Housing Reduction or Denial of Services to a Family with Children in San Bernardino, California [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring an urgent matter to your attention regarding what appears to be a violation of fair housing laws in our San Bernardino community. As a tenant at [Your Address], I am deeply concerned about recent developments affecting my family's right to fair housing and quality living conditions. According to the Fair Housing Act (Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968), it is unlawful to discriminate against families with children, both directly and indirectly. The purpose of this law is to ensure that all individuals, regardless of family status, have equal access to suitable housing opportunities. Unfortunately, recent events have raised concerns that our family's fair housing rights may have been compromised. I have noticed certain reductions or denials of essential services, which I believe are based solely on our family's status as having children. These occurrences have significantly impacted our overall quality of life and constitute a severe breach of our rights under fair housing laws. To resolve this matter promptly and amicably, I kindly request the following actions be taken: 1. Investigation and Explanation: I kindly ask that you conduct a thorough investigation into the instances where services have been reduced or denied to our family. I urge you to provide a clear and detailed explanation for these actions, including any factors that contributed to these decisions. 2. Immediate Cease of Discrimination: It is essential that any discriminatory practices or behaviors immediately cease. I kindly ask you to ensure that all necessary measures are taken to prevent further reductions or denials of services based on our family's status. This includes guaranteeing that our family receives the same level of service and accommodation as other tenants. 3. Compensation and Resolution: In recognition of the hardships faced by our family as a result of this unfair treatment, I kindly request suitable compensation for the distress and inconveniences experienced. 4. Policy Review and Training: I strongly urge you to review your policies, practices, and procedures to ensure strict compliance with federal and state fair housing laws. It may be beneficial to provide fair housing training to all staff members involved in the management and maintenance of the property to prevent future occurrences of discrimination and ensure a welcoming environment for families with children. I kindly ask for a written response within 10 business days outlining the steps you intend to take to address this matter promptly and resolve the situation to our satisfaction. Please note that should no adequate response be received, we may be compelled to seek appropriate legal remedies available to protect our rights under fair housing laws. As responsible and caring landlords, I trust that you will take this matter seriously and promptly rectify any unfair treatment we have encountered. It is crucial that we work together to uphold the principles of fair housing and maintain a harmonious living environment for all residents. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I look forward to a swift and satisfactory resolution.
