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. Title: New Orleans, Louisiana — Fair Housing Reduction/Denial of Services to Family with Children: Tenant's Letter to Landlord Keywords: New Orleans, Louisiana, fair housing, reduction of services, denial of services, family with children, tenant, landlord, discrimination, housing laws, legal rights, housing authority, rental agreement. [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, Zip] Subject: Complaint of Fair Housing Violations — Reduction or Denial of Services to Family with Children Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a serious concern regarding what appears to be a potential violation of fair housing laws. As a tenant residing at [Your Property Address], I believe that actions taken by the property management may be resulting in the reduction or denial of services to families with children, which is expressly prohibited under fair housing regulations. Firstly, let me emphasize that my family and I have been proud and diligent tenants on your property for [duration of tenancy]. We have always respected the terms of our rental agreement and wish to continue doing so. However, recent events have caused great distress and concern. It has come to my attention that certain services, amenities, or benefits which were previously afforded to families with children have either been substantially reduced or entirely denied. This includes restrictions on access to common areas, discriminatory treatment in maintenance requests, preferential treatment toward tenants without children, or the imposition of additional fees or penalties on families with children. As a tenant, it is my steadfast belief that every member of my family is legally entitled to equal treatment, without any form of discrimination. This belief is supported by the Fair Housing Act (Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968), as amended, which explicitly prohibits discrimination on the basis of familial status. I kindly request that you address these concerns promptly: 1. Please provide a written response explaining the reason(s) behind the reduction or denial of services for families with children. 2. If there are legitimate grounds for the actions taken, please provide detailed documentation supporting these decisions. 3. Should the reduction or denial of services be unjustified, please promptly rectify the situation and restore the services to all tenants, including families with children. 4. Provide assurance that future incidents of discrimination based on familial status will not occur and outline any steps that have been or will be taken to ensure compliance with fair housing laws. If this matter is not appropriately addressed within a reasonable period [mention a timeframe, e.g., 14 days] from the date of this letter, I may be compelled to seek advice from the appropriate housing authority and legal counsel to protect my rights as a tenant and ensure the enforcement of fair housing legislation. I trust your commitment to upholding fair housing rights and prudent property management practices. I look forward to your prompt response and resolution of this matter. Thank you for your attention to this issue. Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
