Title: Rochester New York Letter from Tenant to Landlord about Fair Housing Reduction or Denial of Services to Family with Children Introduction: Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a concerning issue that I believe requires immediate attention. As a tenant residing in your property, I am deeply concerned about what seems to be a fair housing reduction or denial of services to my family, specifically due to the presence of children. I wanted to address this matter with you directly to find a resolution that ensures equal treatment and adherence to fair housing laws. Content: Paragraph 1: Identifying the Issue I want to express my concern regarding the recent occurrence where my family has experienced a reduction in the quality of housing or denial of certain services that are afforded to other tenants. This apparent differentiation based on the presence of children violates the principles of fair housing as outlined in the federal, state, and local regulations. Paragraph 2: Explanation of Relevant Fair Housing Laws It is imperative to recognize that federal fair housing laws, such as the Fair Housing Act of 1968 and the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988, protect tenants from discrimination based on familial status. Furthermore, New York State laws, including the New York State Human Rights Law, and local ordinances in Rochester, reinforce the importance of preventing discrimination against families with children in housing matters. Paragraph 3: Examples of Reduction or Denial of Services To illustrate the issue more comprehensively, I would like to outline a few instances where my family has encountered a reduction in services or denial of assistance, which appear to be based on the presence of children. These examples include: 1. Maintenance Requests: Despite submitting timely maintenance requests, we have noticed prolonged delays in addressing the repair issues within our unit. 2. Shared Facilities: Restrictions or limitations imposed exclusively on my family's access to shared facilities or amenities compared to other tenants. 3. Differential Policies: We have discovered policies or rules that specifically impact families with children, resulting in an uneven application of guidelines within the property. Paragraph 4: Request for Resolution As a tenant who values a mutually respectful landlord-tenant relationship, I kindly request that you take immediate action to rectify these discriminatory practices. My goal is to have fair housing practices reinstated, ensuring equal opportunities and services for all tenants, regardless of familial status. Conclusion: In conclusion, I urge you to address this matter promptly, as fair housing rights are essential for maintaining a harmonious living environment within the property. By addressing these concerns, we can uphold the principles of equality and ensure that families with children are treated fairly within our community. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your response and a timely resolution. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Tenant's Address] [City, State, Zip Code]
