RE: Housing Discrimination Complaint
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to file a formal complaint against my prospective landlord, Deborah [Last Name], for discriminating against me based on my source of income, specifically my housing voucher.
On [Date], Deborah sent me an email stating that she would no longer be renting the unit to me due to her concerns about the reliability of housing vouchers. She explicitly mentioned her discomfort with counting on a housing voucher as a secure payment, citing unfortunate past experiences. This communication is attached for your reference.
Her refusal to rent to me solely based on my use of a housing voucher is a direct violation of California Government Code Section *, which prohibits discrimination based on source of income.
I request that the DFEH investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure compliance with state laws and prevent further discrimination.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
**** [Last Name]
