Just cause eviction rules in North Haven, CT — sometimes called tenant protection or "for cause" eviction ordinances — list the specific legal reasons a landlord can end a tenancy.
Connecticut General Statutes § 47a-23c grants statewide just-cause eviction protection to elderly tenants 62 or older, tenants with disabilities, and certain mobile manufactured home park residents. Landlords cannot refuse renewal without statutory cause.
Under CGS § 47a-23c, a landlord of a building with five or more separate dwelling units cannot terminate the rental agreement of a tenant who is 62 or older, blind, or has a physical or mental disability except for enumerated reasons: nonpayment of rent, material noncompliance, refusal of a reasonable rent increase, permanent removal from rental market, bona fide intent for owner occupancy, or other good cause. The protection is statewide and not waivable by lease. Mobile manufactured home park residents receive parallel protection under CGS Chapter 412. Local just-cause ordinances cannot reduce these state minimums.
Improper evictions under § 47a-23c are dismissed in housing court. Landlords engaging in self-help or retaliatory eviction face damages and attorney fees under CGS §§ 47a-20 and 47a-43.
