Connecticut restricts possession actions, rent increases, and service reductions during the six months after specified good-faith tenant activity. A landlord may remove a residential tenant only through the court summary-process procedure, subject to the statutory grounds, notices, defenses, and exceptions.

The retaliation statute has express exceptions, and eviction timing cannot be reduced to a guaranteed number of days. Review the live facts and obtain legal advice before serving notice.
