:confused:What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?kansas

My son has severe autism. The school he attends has the whole school accessible just for him. His iep is developed at the end of school in preperation for the coming school year. He has made such progress with all his teachers and specialist, they know him, how he acts and have acclimated to such.

We have a playground n front of my apartment just 20 ft away. My apt complex is subsidized, receiving govt money for rental assisstance. Here's my problem:

I notified my landlord I would be late with my rent this month. I received a 3 day demand. Ok. Before the 3 days expired, I made a partial payment and asked for a payment plan so I didn't get evicted. That payment was returned citing company policy. Well I requested to see the policy.

6 days later, 30 day eviction. No mention of my request. Nothing. I attempted to pay my rent 2 more times n it was returned. I find out that my neighbor was given a pay agreement.

Would my situation merit such request as a payment plan?
Do we have any protection under the fair housing act or equal opportunity?
I know a lot of my sons progress has to do with a lot of these teachers and their bonds with him and the stability that has been his home all of his life.

I have major depression and am prone to constant panic attacks and can't always leave my apt. I watch directly from my window. I have an emotional support pet.

Is there some place I need to look cuz if equal opportunity don't apply here or the reasonable accommodation provision under the fair housing act?

Plz help me cuz I'm so confusedWhat is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

Research your state landlord tenant act. It may just be that since they have accepted a partial payment, they cannot file for eviction. Basically the thought is that they have made a contractual agreement for a payment plan. If not, then it would be to your advantage is this is the first time you were late with your rent. Some states have statutes that a landlord can evict habitual late payers.
