Answer 1

No one in civil lawsuits is entitled to a court appointed attorney.

In civil suits for protection against domestic violence and in child support actions in which the family is receiving TANF, the county or state provides an attorney.

If you are plaintiff, you bear the costs of filing the suit and for any legal representation.  

Talk to a lawyer.

If there is a tenants' rights organization in your community, contact them.

Answer 2

No.

I am sorry to advise you but you only have the right to an attorney if you are arrested and have no income.
