This is a sample letter from the Tenant to a Landlord. This letter concerns any Fair Housing Reductions and/or services denied to families with children.
Subject: Carmel Indiana Letter from Tenant to Landlord about Fair Housing Reduction or Denial of Services to Family with Children Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the fair housing reduction or denial of services that my family and I have recently experienced at our rented property [property address] in Carmel, Indiana. As you are aware, the Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination against individuals based on their race, color, national origin, religion, sex, disability, and familial status. This act aims to protect families with children from any unjust treatment. It has come to my attention that our family has been subjected to unfavorable treatment that is deeply concerning and potentially in violation of this important legislation. Since residing at [property address], we have noticed a series of incidents that implicate unequal treatment, reduction of services, and possible discrimination against families with children. These incidents include but are not limited to: 1. Unequal Maintenance Responses: Despite promptly reporting any maintenance issues within our unit, we have observed a significant delay in the response and subsequent resolution of these matters in comparison to other tenants without children. 2. Limited Access to Community Amenities: It has come to our attention that certain amenities, such as the playground area or communal swimming pool, have been restricted or have had limitations imposed exclusively on families with children. Such discriminatory practices deprive our children of the same opportunities as other residents. 3. Limited Rental Options: On several occasions, we have noticed that families with children are presented with fewer rental options in comparison to those without children. This apparent preference towards families without children creates an uneven playing field that goes against the principles of fair housing. As a tenant, I expect that my family should be treated fairly and equitably, without any form of discrimination or reduction in services. I am kindly urging you, as our landlord, to promptly address these concerns and take steps to rectify the situation to ensure a fair housing environment for all tenants. I request the following actions to be taken: 1. Conduct a thorough investigation into the allegations of discrimination, unfair treatment, and service reductions towards families with children at [property address]. 2. Implement necessary changes to policies, procedures, and practices ensuring that all tenants are treated equally, regardless of familial status. 3. Provide compensation for any damages or inconvenience that our family has faced as a result of the discriminatory practices experienced. Failure to address these concerns appropriately within a reasonable timeframe may result in legal action being taken to protect our rights as tenants while also ensuring compliance with fair housing laws. I trust that you understand the significance of maintaining fair housing practices and that you will take this matter seriously. I believe that by working together, we can rectify these issues and foster a supportive and inclusive housing environment for all residents. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to a satisfactory resolution of these problems and an ongoing positive tenant-landlord relationship.
