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 Addressing of 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 address a concerning matter that has come to my attention, which deserves immediate attention and resolution. As a tenant residing at [Rental Property Address], I deeply value the rights and principles of fair housing for every individual and family. It has recently come to my attention that there may be potential violations in this regard within our community, specifically concerning the reduction or denial of services to families with children. Under The Fair Housing Act of 1968, as amended, it is considered unlawful to discriminate against families with children under the age of 18 in housing matters. This act guarantees their right to secure housing without facing unjust barriers. It is my sincere hope that this issue can be resolved promptly, ensuring fair treatment and equal access to housing for all residents. I kindly urge you, as the landlord and overseer of this property, to meticulously review the policies, guidelines, and practices in place to ensure that they comply fully with federal, state, and local fair housing laws. This examination should encompass all areas that may potentially discriminate against families with children, such as: 1. Rental Application Process: Confirming that the application requirements do not unfairly target families with children, but rather evaluate all prospective tenants on an equal basis considering financial stability, rental history, and references. 2. Lease Agreement Provisions: Ensuring that all lease agreements contain non-discriminatory clauses, avoiding any direct or indirect language that may suggest a preference for tenants without children or limit the use of certain amenities or property features exclusively for non-families. 3. Reasonable Accommodations: Familiarizing yourself with the concept of reasonable accommodations, which obligates landlords to make necessary adjustments to their policies or rules to ensure equal opportunity and accessibility for individuals with disabilities, including children. 4. Maintenance and Repairs: Preserving a fair and consistent approach when addressing maintenance requests, irrespective of whether they're lodged by tenants with or without children. All residents should have an equal right to a safe and habitable living environment. 5. Community Facilities and Common Areas: Ensuring equal access for families with children to any recreational areas, common spaces, swimming pools, community facilities, or any amenities that are offered on the property. It is imperative that we work together to rectify any potential missteps and address any claims regarding fair housing reduction or denial of services to families with children promptly. By thoroughly reviewing and taking corrective measures, we can create an environment where every tenant feels valued, respected, and their rights are fully upheld. I kindly request your written response within [reasonable timeframe], outlining the steps that will be taken to address this matter. Additionally, I highly encourage establishing an open dialogue with the tenants to address any concerns they may have and provide education regarding fair housing policies. Thank you for your attention to this serious matter. I trust that you will take appropriate action promptly and demonstrate your commitment to upholding the principles of fair housing in our community. Yours sincerely, [Your Name] [Tenant at Rental Property Address]
