Subject: Urgent Concern regarding Unfair Treatment of a Family with Children in Albuquerque, New Mexico [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, Zip Code] Re: Fair Housing Reduction or Denial of Services to Family with Children in Albuquerque, New Mexico Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to bring a matter of great concern to your attention regarding the fair treatment and rights of a family residing in one of your properties in Albuquerque, New Mexico. As you are aware, it is imperative to abide by the provisions set forth under the Fair Housing Act, which explicitly prohibits discrimination against any individual or family based on familial status. This includes, but is not limited to, refusing to rent to families with children, imposing unfair rental conditions, or restricting access to essential services based on the presence of children in the household. Unfortunately, it has come to my attention that the family residing [address of the property] has been subject to unfair policies and discrimination contradicting the principles of fair housing. Key concerns affecting the Fair Housing rights of this family include, but are not limited to: 1. Reducing or Denying Essential Services: It has been reported that the family has faced a sudden reduction or complete denial of certain essential services such as maintenance and repairs, garbage disposal, pest control, or any other services offered to other tenants in a similar situation. This unequal treatment has created unnecessary hardships, negatively impacting their quality of life and creating an inhospitable living environment. 2. Unjust Rental Conditions: It has been brought to my attention that the family is being subjected to discriminatory rental conditions that infringe upon their right to fair housing. These unjust conditions include restrictions on common areas, such as playgrounds or shared spaces, specifically targeting families with children. Such discrimination is a clear violation of the Fair Housing Act and undermines the goal of creating inclusive and welcoming living environments for all residents. 3. Disparate Treatment: The family has shared instances where they feel they are being treated disparately compared to other tenants, due solely to the presence of children in their household. Denying them equal opportunities, privileges, or amenities offered to other tenants within the property complex or surrounding community is a breach of the Fair Housing Act, and it is essential to address these discriminatory practices immediately. It is essential, as the landlord and property owner, that you take prompt and appropriate action to rectify this situation and ensure compliance with the Fair Housing Act. Failure to take the necessary steps to address these concerns may result in potential legal consequences, including penalties and litigation. I earnestly request that you provide a written response within [specific reasonable timeline, e.g., 14 days] outlining the actions you plan to undertake to rectify these discriminatory practices and ensure fair treatment for this family. Furthermore, please provide details on how you aim to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future, confirming your commitment to uphold the principles of fair housing in Albuquerque. Please be aware that copies of this correspondence will be forwarded to relevant housing authorities, including the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the Albuquerque Fair Housing Center, and any other necessary entities to ensure the family receives the appropriate support and protection afforded to them under the Fair Housing Act. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. It is my sincere hope that you will take swift actions to rectify these issues and reinforce a fair and inclusive living environment for all residents in your properties. Sincerely, [Your Name]
