Q: If I wanted to sue my landlord for code violations, no heat, etcetera, what form would I need to file?
I'm being charged $1850.00 per month, for a house with many deficiencies that were undetectable before the lease signing because of no active utilities. According to the utilities company, there hasn't been gas service to this house, with a gas furnace, in 2.5 years. The utility company is requiring an air pressure test on the house gas lines before they will turn on the gas to heat the house. The rental manager is refusing to do so and attempting to scare me off. I can't afford an attorney because of not being able to save anything after paying the bills.

A: That would not work on a form.. Hire an attorney to file suit. A Civil Warrant in GS might work but will still need a good cause of action and described damages.
