Evicted after a pipe burst on Christmas. Now N.J. tenants left out in the cold.

I was on another call when Aydee Saldarriaga called me. She was frantic and I immediately knew it was important — "mija, nos enviaron una carta y parece que nos están botando del apartamento," she said in Spanish. She said she’d gotten a letter, written in English which she didn't understand very well, that seemed to say they were being evicted — a week after a pipe burst in her home on Christmas Day.

She asked me to read it and to please let her know if what she’d read was right.
