Connecticut's protected-tenant statute (§47a-23c) bars purely no-fault evictions of tenants 62+ or with disabilities in buildings of five or more units, while other tenants face standard CT notice-to-quit procedures.
Bridgeport rental terminations are governed primarily by Connecticut law. CT §47a-23c gives strong protection to elderly and disabled tenants in larger rental buildings, allowing eviction only for enumerated good-cause grounds such as nonpayment, lease violation, nuisance, or owner move-in. Unprotected tenants in single-family or smaller buildings can be terminated at the lease's end with proper notice-to-quit, even without fault, subject to anti-retaliation and anti-discrimination rules. Bridgeport has not layered a broader local just-cause regime on top of state law.
Improper no-fault termination of a §47a-23c-protected tenant exposes the owner to dismissal of the eviction and damages.
