Aviso de 3 días para desalojar por falta de pago del alquiler antes del desalojo - No se requiere la posibilidad de remediar - No residencial
Failure to Pay Rent:
Residential Leases:
There is a statutory nine (9) day grace period after
the date rent is due. Landlord can therefore take no official action until
Tenant has failed to pay rent for 9 days after the rent was due. At that
point, Landlord can serve Tenant with a three (3) day Notice of Termination.
Landlord is not required to allow Tenant to cure by paying rent within
the 3 day Notice period.
Commercial Leases:
There is no grace period for payment of rent on a commercial
(non-residential) lease. Upon rent being unpaid when due, Landlord may
immediately serve Tenant with a three (3) day Notice of Termination. Landlord
is not required to allow Tenant to cure by paying rent within the 3-day
Notice period.
Tenant Noncompliance with Lease:
In either a residential or non-residential lease, if
Tenant breaches the lease by failing to comply with the terms and conditions
thereof, Landlord may serve Tenant with a 15-day Notice of Termination.
Tenant may ordinarily cure the breach (if possible) within the 15-day notice
period in order to avoid termination of the Lease.
Selected Connecticut Statutes:
Sec. 47a-15a. Nonpayment of rent by tenant: Landlord's
remedy. If rent is unpaid when due and the tenant fails to pay rent
within nine days thereafter or, in the case of a one-week tenancy, within
four days thereafter, the landlord may terminate the rental agreement in
accordance with the provisions of sections 47a-23 to 47a-23b, inclusive.
Sec. 47a-15. Noncompliance by tenant. Remedy of breach by tenant.
Landlord's remedies. Prior to the commencement of a summary process
action, except in the case in which the landlord elects to proceed under
sections 47a-23 to 47a-23b, inclusive, to evict based on nonpayment of
rent, on conduct by the tenant which constitutes a serious nuisance or
on a violation of subsection (h) of section 47a-11, if there is a material
noncompliance with section 47a-11 which materially affects the health and
safety of the other tenants or materially affects the physical condition
of the premises, or if there is a material noncompliance by the tenant
with the rental agreement or a material noncompliance with the rules and
regulations adopted in accordance with section 47a-9, and the landlord
chooses to evict based on such noncompliance, the landlord shall deliver
a written notice to the tenant specifying the acts or omissions constituting
the breach and that the rental agreement shall terminate upon a date not
less than fifteen days after receipt of the notice. If such breach can
be remedied by repair by the tenant or payment of damages by the tenant
to the landlord, and such breach is not so remedied within such fifteen-day
period, the rental agreement shall terminate except that (1) if the breach
is remediable by repairs or the payment of damages and the tenant adequately
remedies the breach within such fifteen-day period, the rental agreement
shall not terminate; or (2) if substantially the same act or omission for
which notice was given recurs within six months, the landlord may terminate
the rental agreement in accordance with the provisions of sections 47a-23
to 47a-23b, inclusive. For the purposes of this section, "serious nuisance"
means (A) inflicting bodily harm upon another tenant or the landlord or
threatening to inflict such harm with the present ability to effect the
harm and under circumstances which would lead a reasonable person to believe
that such threat will be carried out, (B) substantial and wilful destruction
of part of the dwelling unit or premises, (C) conduct which presents an
immediate and serious danger to the safety of other tenants or the landlord,
or (D) using the premises or allowing the premises to be used for prostitution
or the illegal sale of drugs or, in the case of a housing authority, using
any area within fifteen hundred feet of any housing authority property
in which the tenant resides for the illegal sale of drugs. If the landlord
elects to evict based upon an allegation, pursuant to subsection (g) of
section 47a-11, that the tenant failed to require other persons on the
premises with his consent to conduct themselves in a manner that will not
constitute a serious nuisance, and the tenant claims to have had no knowledge
of such conduct, then, if the landlord establishes that the premises or,
in the case of a landlord that is a housing authority, the premises or
any area within fifteen hundred feet of any housing authority property
in which the tenant resides has been used for the illegal sale of drugs,
the burden shall be on the tenant to show that he had no knowledge of the
creation of the serious nuisance.

was delivered in the month after the month in which the rent is alleged
to be unpaid.
(e) A termination notice required pursuant to federal law and regulations

for the lessee or occupant to quit possession or occupancy or the date
of completion of the pretermination process, whichever is later. A use
and occupancy disclaimer may be included in or combined with such notice,
provided that such disclaimer does not take effect until after the date
specified in the notice for the lessee or occupant to quit possession or
occupancy or the date of the completion of the pretermination process,
whichever is later. Such inclusion or combination does not thereby render
the notice required pursuant to this section equivocal. Such disclaimer
shall be in substantially the following form: "Any payments tendered after
the date specified to quit possession or occupancy, or the date of the
completion of the pretermination process if that is later, will be accepted
for use and occupancy only and not for rent, with full reservation of rights
to continue with the eviction action."
