Connecticut General Statutes §47a-23c protects elderly and disabled tenants in buildings with five or more units from no-fault eviction except for narrow statutory grounds.
Connecticut General Statutes §47a-23c, the partial state rent-control and tenant-protection framework, prohibits landlords of buildings with five or more dwelling units from terminating month-to-month tenancies of protected tenants except for cause. Protected tenants include those aged 62 or older and persons with physical or mental disabilities. Permitted causes include nonpayment, material lease violation, nuisance, refusal to sign a similar lease at fair rent, owner-occupancy by family member, or substantial rehabilitation. Hartford has explored expanding just-cause to all tenants but state preemption limits broader municipal action under §47a-23c.
Issuing a no-fault notice to quit against a protected elderly or disabled tenant in a covered Hartford building violates CT §47a-23c and can be raised as a defense in summary process eviction proceedings.
