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: Urgent Concern — 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 you today as a concerned tenant residing in your property located in Cary, North Carolina. Recently, I became aware of a significant issue that we, as a family with children, have been facing, which appears to be a potential violation of the Fair Housing Act. It is disheartening for me to bring up this problem, as we have enjoyed our tenancy under your care thus far. However, it has recently come to my attention that our family has been experiencing a reduction in certain crucial services within the property, which specifically affects our children. The lack of these services not only compromises their well-being but also creates an environment that is less conducive to their upbringing. I would like to highlight the importance of complying with the Fair Housing Act, a federal law that prohibits discrimination based on familial status, among other factors. As you may be aware, the Act specifically protects families with children under the age of 18 from any form of discrimination or deprivation of services, which includes access to common areas, facilities, amenities, or utilities without reasonable cause. I believe it is essential to address this matter promptly to ensure a harmonious living environment for all tenants. To facilitate this process, I kindly request that you review and resolve the following concerns: 1. Reduction/Denial of Services: Specify the specific services (e.g., maintenance, repairs, pest control) that have been selectively reduced or denied in comparison to other tenants. Provide specific instances and relevant dates where these disparities were observed or reported. 2. Documentation: Attach any relevant documentation, such as work orders or maintenance reports, to support your claim of the reduction or denial of services specifically targeted towards my family with children. 3. Communication Attempts: Discuss any prior attempts made by me or my family to address these matters through written or verbal communication with your management or maintenance staff. Provide details of these attempts, including dates and individuals involved, to demonstrate our effort in resolving this issue. 4. Requested Resolution: Clearly outline the corrective measures you intend to undertake to immediately rectify the situation and ensure equal treatment for all tenants, irrespective of familial status. This may involve restoring the full range of services, implementing systematic monitoring, or any other appropriate course of action. 5. Compliance Assurance: Request a written confirmation of your commitment to comply with the Fair Housing Act's anti-discrimination provisions moving forward, and your willingness to enforce equal treatment for all tenants. Your prompt attention to this matter will be highly appreciated. By addressing these concerns, you not only demonstrate your commitment to upholding fair housing practices but also promote a harmonious and inclusive community for all residents. I trust that you will handle this situation with the utmost professionalism and fairness it deserves. I thank you in advance for your immediate action, clear communication, and dedication to ensuring the well-being of all tenants, particularly the children in your care. Furthermore, I look forward to a swift resolution and an ongoing positive tenancy experience. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number]
