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: Concerns Regarding Fair Housing Reduction or Denial of Services to Family with Children in Naperville, Illinois Dear [Landlord’s Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to you as a tenant residing in your property located at [property address] in Naperville, Illinois. I want to bring to your attention some concerns and potential violations of fair housing laws that have recently come to my knowledge. Firstly, I would like to highlight the Fair Housing Act, which prohibits discrimination in housing based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, or disability. It is imperative that all residents, including families with children, are provided equal opportunities to enjoy the benefits of fair housing. However, it has come to my attention that certain practices are being implemented in our community that seem to be disproportionately affecting families with children. These actions may potentially be in violation of the Fair Housing Act and could lead to a reduction or denial of essential services to families, depriving them of fair and equal treatment. As your tenant, I feel compelled to raise concerns about the following matters: 1. Reduced or Denied Access to Amenities: It has been observed that families with children are being subjected to restricted or denied access to various amenities within our community, such as the playgrounds, common areas, swimming pools, or recreational facilities. Denying families with children the same level of access as other residents is not only unfair but also discriminatory, infringing upon their rights to enjoy their rented space fully. 2. Discriminatory Rental Policies: I have learned of certain discriminatory rental policies enforced within our community that limit occupancy or impose unreasonable restrictions on families with children. These policies might include higher security deposits, additional fees, or arbitrary limitations on the number of occupants, leading to the unfair destabilization of families. Such practices are against the spirit of fair housing and can harm the overall well-being of families with children. 3. Lack of Proper Maintenance: Another pressing issue concerns the maintenance and upkeep of areas that are specifically designated for families with children. Neglecting repairs or allowing deterioration to persist in these areas not only diminishes the quality of life but also contributes to the unequal treatment of families, indirectly discouraging them from residing in our community. I would like to request that you, as the landlord, thoroughly investigate these matters and take appropriate actions to rectify any potential violations of fair housing laws. It is important to foster an environment where families with children can enjoy their rights to fair housing without encountering discrimination, reduced services, or limitations that negatively impact their well-being. I kindly urge you to address these concerns promptly through meaningful dialogue with affected tenants and, if necessary, adjust policies, procedures, and practices aligning with the principles of fair housing for all residents of Naperville, Illinois. I firmly believe that by working together, we can create a harmonious community that respects the rights and needs of all its residents. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I eagerly await your response within a reasonable timeframe. Should you require any further information or clarification, please do not hesitate to reach out to me. Yours sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number]
