Dear _________________:
Landlord's Name
Please be advised that the Federal Fair Housing Law as
amended in 1988 precludes landlords from discriminating against
tenants that are handicapped. Refusing to rent to persons with a
handicap or providing persons with a handicap with different
services, different access to use of the premises, or charging more
rent
based on the person being disabled, all are prohibited.
The Federal
Fair Housing Law permits me to modify the unit and accessibility
to the building at my own expense if it is necessary for me to be
able to rent there. The property owner cannot refuse me the
right to modify the premises.
I feel that my rights under the Federal Fair Housing Law
have been violated by:__________________________________________
(describe action you feel is a violation
________________________________________________________________.
of the Fair Housing Law)
If this situation cannot be resolved I will be forced to
seek appropriate legal remedies to this situation. Thank you in
advance for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
