Landlord/Tenant Law
Summary Process/Evictions put a stop to cash flow problems caused by delinquent tenants. Lawrence & Jurkiewicz, LLC are landlord/tenant attorneys in Avon and Torrington, Connecticut who are prepared to evict your non-paying tenants.
Under Connecticut's Summary Process statute, a landlord may evict a tenant when a lease, whether written or oral, terminates, including for any of the following reasons: lapse of time (holding over after the term of the lease expires), significant violation of the terms of the lease or certain rules and regulations, nonpayment of rent, nuisance (conduct substantially interfering with the comfort or safety of other tenants), serious nuisance (which includes inflicting or, under certain circumstances, threatening to inflict bodily harm upon another tenant or the landlord, substantial and wilful destruction of part of the premises, and using or allowing the premises to be used for the illegal sale of drugs).
Service upon the tenant of a written Notice to Quit (which must include the date for quitting the premises and state a specific, legally sufficient reason for the termination of the tenancy) by a state marshal or an "indifferent person" terminates the rental agreement for the month or week in which the notice is delivered, converts a month-to-month or a week-to-week tenancy to a tenancy at sufference (bare possession with no right to remain) and is a prerequisite and a proper basis for a Summary Process action.
Lawrence & Jurkiewicz, LLC's landlord/tenant attorneys recognize the need for quick action on your behalf. If the tenant does not move out by the date specified in the Notice to Quit the Summary Process action affords a speedy and efficient remedy, usually resulting in a court order directing the tenant to move within a short period of time and/or conditioning any further occupancy upon payment for use and occupancy by a date certain.
