Synopsis
In this holdover proceeding, the landlord, a supportive housing provider, sought to evict the tenant. The tenant's motions to vacate a default and for the court to appoint an attorney under the "Right to Counsel Law" were denied. The court clarified that the Universal Access to Counsel Law provides access, not an absolute right, to legal services. The court also denied the tenant's motion to vacate a previous default. However, acknowledging the tenant's supportive housing status, the court ordered the landlord to produce documentation regarding the tenant's referral, contemplating the potential appointment of a Guardian Ad Litem.
