Connecticut Eviction Notice

Before a Connecticut landlord can file for eviction, the tenancy usually has to be ended with written notice. How much notice depends on the reason. Here’s what Connecticut’s statute says for each kind of notice this template builds.

Connecticut rules at a glance

Connecticut rules for an Eviction Notice
Unpaid rent	3 days. Once the 9-day grace period passes (4 days for week-to-week), the landlord may serve a notice to quit giving at least three full days before filing an eviction.C.G.S. §§47a-15a, 47a-23
Lease violation	15 days. For a curable material breach the landlord must first give written notice and 15 days to fix it.C.G.S. §47a-15

Ending a Connecticut tenancy

Connecticut doesn’t use the familiar “30 days to end a month-to-month” rule. A month-to-month tenancy ends by its own terms at the close of each rental period; what the statute regulates is the notice to quit that must precede an eviction case. The eviction itself runs through the summary-process court procedure — a landlord can never lock a tenant out.

Key Connecticut notice periods
Notice to quit (before summary process)	At least 3 full days§47a-23
Nonpayment grace period	9 days (4 days week-to-week)§47a-15a
Lease violation — right to cure	15 days§47a-15
Rent increase	45 days (or one full term for a lease of one month or less)§47a-4e
Family violence / sexual assault termination	30 days, with documentation§47a-11e

Nonpayment — Once the 9-day grace period passes, the landlord may serve a notice to quit giving at least three days before filing an eviction (§§47a-15a, 47a-23).
Lease violations — For a curable material breach the landlord must first give written notice and 15 days to fix it; the right to cure doesn’t apply to a repeat within six months or to serious nuisance (§47a-15).
Protected tenants — In buildings with five or more units, tenants who are 62+ or have a qualifying disability can be evicted only for good cause — not simply because the lease ended (§47a-23c).
Survivors — A victim of family violence or sexual assault may end the lease on 30 days’ written notice with a sworn statement and a police, court or victim-services record; unpaid rent before termination is still owed (§47a-11e).
