Under Conn. Gen. Stat. Sec. 47a-16, a landlord must give the tenant reasonable written or oral notice of intent to enter and may enter only at reasonable times, except in an emergency. Tenants may not unreasonably withhold consent for inspections, repairs, services, or showings, and landlords may not abuse the right of entry.
Conn. Gen. Stat. Sec. 47a-16 requires that the landlord 'give the tenant reasonable written or oral notice of his intent to enter and may enter only at reasonable times, except in case of emergency.' Connecticut sets no fixed hour figure, but reasonable notice is widely treated as 24 to 48 hours. The tenant 'shall not unreasonably withhold consent' for the landlord to inspect, make necessary or agreed repairs, alterations or improvements, supply services, or exhibit the unit to prospective purchasers, mortgagees, tenants, workers or contractors. Absent consent, a landlord may enter only in an emergency, under Sec. 47a-16a, pursuant to court order, or if the unit is abandoned, and may not abuse entry to harass the tenant.
A landlord who unlawfully enters or abuses the right of entry may face an injunction and, under Sec. 47a-18, damages and reasonable attorney's fees; the tenant may also recover for harassment.
