In Connecticut, landlords can evict tenants for reasons such as lease expiration, nonpayment of rent, lease violations, or illegal behavior. Guides for landlords and tenants are available from the Connecticut Judicial Branch.
The Eviction Process
- The eviction process (summary process) starts with a notice to quit, followed by a court summons if the tenant doesn’t leave.
- If contested, the case goes to trial, and after a judgment, a state marshal can remove the tenant.
- The process takes at least 30-45 days but can take longer due to appeals or court stays.
