Stop the eviction: 4 months of rent for Kaylee's family in Albany
A court summons for non-payment arrived last week. Kaylee needs $4,150 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Albany.

When the textile factory closed in February, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $4,150.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by June, we must leave.
I have two young children at home. Moving isn't just an expense - it would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
I have started working extra hours at a market stall, and I'm applying for help from local services, but nothing will arrive in time without the rest of the gap covered here.
Funds go to the landlord and nowhere else. Any amount left over after the arrears are cleared will go toward next month's rent.
Where the $4,150 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $3,150
• Late fees and court costs: $280
• Utilities in arrears: $140
• First month of rent as a buffer: $580
Thanks for being kind about this.
