Frequently asked questions
How many days notice for nonpayment in Connecticut?
3 days, per Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47a-23. 3-day notice to quit, but statutory grace period applies first: 9 days for monthly, 4 days for weekly tenancies (Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47a-15a).
What happens after the notice period expires?
If the tenant hasn't paid or vacated, you may file the eviction case in court. Keep the served notice and proof of service — the court will require them.
Can the tenant stop the eviction by paying?
Payment in full within the notice period cures a pay-or-quit notice in nearly every state; accepting partial payment after the period may reset the process in some states.
