Connecticut Eviction Notice
Connecticut eviction starts with a notice to quit. Many grounds need a cure notice first. Do not use this in place of the official notice-to-quit form if a court expects that form. This generator builds a written Connecticut eviction notice (pay-or-quit, cure-or-quit, end-of-term, or unconditional quit) around those deadlines. It is not a court summons, and it is not permission to change the locks.
- Nonpayment notices are often 3 days.
- Some breaches require a pretermination notice to cure. Check § 47a-15 before you serve a notice to quit.
- This notice does not start a court case. If the tenant stays, file in the proper court and have the papers served.

- What is an eviction notice in Connecticut?
- Connecticut eviction starts with a notice to quit. Many grounds need a cure notice first. Do not use this in place of the official notice-to-quit form if a court expects that form.
- Can I change the locks or remove belongings after serving notice?
- No. Self-help eviction is illegal in most states. After proper notice, you generally must file in court and follow the judge’s process. Never lock a tenant out without a lawful order.
- Pay-or-quit vs cure-or-quit — what is the difference?
- Connecticut uses a notice to quit, generally at least 3 days (Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47a-23), not a separate pay-or-quit cure in every case. Some breaches require a pretermination notice to cure. Check § 47a-15 before you serve a notice to quit.
