Facing Eviction! What are my rights!?

My husband and I have been served with eviction papers and have a court date in October. We live in a large apartment complex and love the area but the management is awful. We have been late on two months rent due to increased medical bills for our son and just simply not making enough money right now. We will be getting rental assistance through the county that will help with rent and the $638 court fee. While I understand being taken to court due to the rent, my frustration is the fact that since August 6th our bathroom has been under construction due to a large amount of mold on the walls and ceiling and an unknown leak that has been unresolved for years. (I previously posted about the bathroom for advice). On August 31 they completely ripped out the wall the toilet and shower head is on needing to also remove the shower curtain rod leaving me and my family to take very inconvenient showers and me having to wash my hair bent over the side of the tub. Do we as renters have any rights to bring up on our court date the state of our bathroom and the lack of urgency by management to test for additional mold and closing the wall? Any advice on our situation would be GREATLY appreciated!!!
