RE: MDCR Case#: 613773

Angela Raap v Nomad Trailer Park/Michigan AA & NM LLC/Ben and Sandy Johns

Dear Angela Raap:

Enclosed is your formal complaint form. In the presence of a Notary Public, please date and
sign the form at the bottom where it says "Signature of Charging Party / Claimant". Except for
your signature, please do not write on this form.

If changes or corrections are necessary, notify me and a corrected complaint form will be
mailed to you.

Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic and Governor Whitmer’s shelter-in-place, our
department understands that having your complaint properly signed and notarized may be
challenging. If you cannot have your complaint properly notarized within the allotted time,
please sign it and return it without notarization. Please note that if you opt to return the signed
complaint without proper notarization, you must have it properly notarized after the shelter-in-
place expires. At that time, you will receive the same complaint that must be signed, notarized,
and returned to the MDCR as required under Rule 37.4(3) of the Commission Rules. If the
complaint is not properly signed, notarized and returned to the department within a designated
time, the complaint may be closed due to your failure to cooperate.

I must receive your signed complaint or your signed and notarized complaint by
November 19, 2020, or I will assume you do not wish to pursue this matter.

You have 180 days from the alleged incident to file a complaint with Michigan Department of
Civil Rights (MDCR) and 300 days to file with Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
(EEOC). If your complaint is returned and is untimely for MDCR, we may still be able to file it
with EEOC as long as it meets EEOC 300-day statute of limitations.

If you have any questions, please contact me.

Sincerely,

Jonathan Wendland

Area of Discrimination: Housing Date of Discrimination: October 1, 2020

Statement of Alleged Discrimination:

I am 46 years old and have bi-racial grand children and I believe I have been discriminated against on
multiple occasions but most recently on or around October 1, 2020, by the respondent, due to my age
and familiar status.

I have been a resident of the respondent's mobile home park located at 2701 Huizenga Street, Norton
Shores, Michigan 49444, since November 28, 2019.

Other terms & conditions 10/1/2020 Age, Familial Status

On multiple occasions but most recently I have been subjected to other terms and conditions by the
respondent by having my lot fees/rent payments refused and being asked to vacate the park. The
respondent alleged my yard was dirty and alleged I threw parties and was noisy. I deny these allegations
and believe the respondent is subjecting me to these other terms and conditions in relation to my age (46)
and the fact that I have bi-racial grandchildren who visit my home.

This complaint is based on the following Law:

Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act No 453, Public Act of 1976, as amended
Title VIII, US Fair Housing Civil Rights Act of 1968, as amended

This complaint is filed in good faith and not for the purpose of harassment.

I swear or affirm that I have read the above complaint and that it is true Subscribed and sworn to before me
to the best of my knowledge, information and belief. I have notified This ________________________ day of __________________, ___

Request for First Class Mail Delivery

I request that the Michigan Department of Civil Rights send all documents to me via first-
class mail to the address I provided. I understand I should receive first-class mail within ten
days after it is mailed.

I am aware that Michigan Civil Rights Commission Rules may require sending me certified
mail, return receipt requested. However, this type of mailing requires someone be present to
sign for the mail at the time of delivery. For my convenience, I waive certified mailings and
request documents be sent to me by first-class mail to the address I have identified.

I understand that if I change my mind, I will notify the Michigan Department of Civil Rights in
writing to send required documents by certified mail, return receipt requested. The MDCR will
notify me in writing when this change has been processed.

By signing and returning this Request to the Michigan Department of Civil Rights, I agree
to receive my mail by first-class mail.
