Title: Lansing, Michigan, Letter from Tenant to Landlord about Fair Housing Reduction or Denial of Services to Family with Children Subject: Seeking Remedy for Unfair Housing Practices Concerning Reduction or Denial of Services to a Family with Children [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 address a matter concerning the fair housing rights of my family and me as residents of [property name/address]. It has come to my attention that there have been instances of reduction or denial of services, which is in violation of the Fair Housing Act prohibiting discrimination against families with children. I want to emphasize that I have always upheld my responsibilities as a tenant, adhering to the rental agreement terms and maintaining a peaceful environment for all residents. Unfortunately, despite this, my family has experienced various incidents that lead me to believe we are being treated unfairly and that our rights may have been violated. Specifically, I have noticed the following instances that indicate possible reduction or denial of services: 1. Unequal Treatment: I have observed discrepancies in the maintenance response time, governing policies, or general attention provided to other tenants in comparison to my family. Such differential treatment can be indicative of unfair bias that targets families with children. 2. Limited Access to Amenities: It has come to my attention that my family is being restricted from using certain amenities or common areas without any valid reason or explanation. Denying access to these facilities solely because we have children is an act of discrimination that infringes upon our fair housing rights. 3. Harassment or Verbal Abuse: My family has encountered instances where we have been subjected to derogatory comments or verbal abuse due to the presence of children. Such behavior creates an environment that is hostile and unwelcoming, further exacerbating concerns of unfair treatment based on familial status. I am writing this letter in the spirit of open communication and trust, with the hope that we can promptly address these issues and find an amicable resolution. It is essential to remember that the Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination against families with children, ensuring equal treatment and access to housing services. I kindly request that you investigate these concerns thoroughly and take appropriate actions to rectify any discriminatory behaviors or practices that may exist within the property. I am open to engaging in a constructive dialogue to reach a resolution that benefits both parties and ensures fair treatment for all residents. In the unfortunate event that these matters are not resolved or adequate steps are not taken to address them, I may need to seek assistance from relevant agencies, such as the Fair Housing Center of [Location]. I genuinely hope it doesn't come to that, as I believe that through mutual understanding and fair treatment, we can successfully resolve these concerns. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response within [reasonable time frame, e.g., 14 days]. Kindly acknowledge receipt of this letter, and please provide written confirmation once you have begun addressing the issues raised herein. Sincerely, [Your Name]
