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: Concerns Regarding Fair Housing Reduction or Denial of Services to Family with Children in Oklahoma City Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to discuss a matter of utmost importance concerning the provision of fair housing rights to families with children in our Oklahoma City community. As a tenant residing in your property, I believe it is crucial to address the potential reduction or denial of services towards my family, thereby violating the fair housing laws. Firstly, I would like to emphasize that the Fair Housing Act, as well as the Oklahoma State Fair Housing laws, strictly prohibit any form of discrimination based on familial status. These regulations ensure equal opportunities for deserving families with children to access housing, receive necessary services, and be treated equally in the housing market. However, I have recently become aware of concerning incidents that raise doubts about our fair treatment as a family with children in [property name/address]. It is essential to bring these concerns to your attention in the hopes of resolving them promptly and effectively. Specifically, I have noticed the following occurrences that could potentially lead to fair housing violations: 1. Unequal Treatment: We have noticed a significant reduction in the services offered within the property compared to other tenants who do not have children residing with them. For instance, common areas being less maintained or accessible, delayed repairs, or uneven enforcement of community rules. 2. Disparate Rules or Restrictions: Our family has encountered certain rules or policies that appear to disproportionately affect families with children. It is crucial to remember that fair housing laws demand equal treatment for all residents, regardless of familial status. Any differential rules must bear a legitimate justification and should not disproportionately burden or hinder families with children. 3. Disruptive Enforcement: I would also like to bring to your attention instances where your staff or contracted agents have displayed unwarranted hostility or discriminatory behavior towards our family when addressing routine matters or concerns. Fair housing demands that every interaction, whether formal or informal, must be conducted in a professional and non-discriminatory manner. As a tenant, my primary intention is to foster an inclusive and harmonious living environment that adheres to the principles of fair housing laws. I propose the following steps to address these concerns and ensure compliance with fair housing regulations: 1. Immediate Investigation: I request that you promptly launch an investigation into the issues raised, examining any potential discriminatory practices or policies being applied against families with children within the property, including differential treatment in terms of services, repairs, or any other amenities. 2. Remedial Measures: Once the investigation is complete, I strongly encourage you to take prompt corrective action based on the findings, aiming to remove any discriminatory practices and ensure equal treatment for all residents irrespective of familial status. This may involve retraining staff, revising policies, or addressing any deficiencies in maintenance and services. 3. Education and Awareness: Enhancing awareness among the staff, contractors, or any other parties associated with property management about fair housing laws and obligations can help prevent future occurrences of discrimination. Initiating educational programs or workshops can significantly contribute to fostering an inclusive housing environment. In conclusion, I appreciate your attention to this matter as we work together to uphold the principles of fair housing for families with children in our Oklahoma City community. I genuinely believe that by addressing these concerns promptly and effectively, we can create a living environment that serves as a beacon of fairness and equality. I kindly request a written response within [reasonable timeframe] to ensure open communication and a swift resolution to this matter. Should the issue not be adequately addressed, I may have to pursue further action to protect our family's rights under fair housing laws.
