How Connecticut evictions work
Evictions go through Housing Session or Superior Court in a process called summary process. It starts with a notice to quit, then a court case. Tenants may ask for mediation or more time. You cannot change the locks, shut off utilities, or remove belongings yourself.
Options
- Work it out. Payment plans or rental assistance programs.
- Cash for keys. Pay the tenant to move by a set date, in writing.
- Evict, then sell.
- Sell with the tenant in place.
Where CT MAX fits
We buy occupied rentals, including those mid-eviction. We take over the lease and the tenant relationship at closing, so you stop carrying a property that is not paying you.
Common questions
Do I need to finish the eviction first?
No.
Will the tenant have to let you in?
Connecticut law requires reasonable notice for landlord entry. We schedule around it.
What about the security deposit?
It transfers at closing as the law requires. Your attorney handles it.
