Connecticut Tenant Notice of Intent to Vacate

Connecticut Tenant Notice of Intent to Vacate

Use this form only after identifying the controlling lease and legal notice period. Do not insert a guessed statewide number. Protected early termination requires a separate, ground-specific notice.

Connecticut Lease and Notice-Period Gate

The Connecticut Judicial Branch's official landlord-tenant guide states that a tenant moving out should give the landlord proper advance notice. The current chapter governing landlord and tenant rights does not supply one simple numerical tenant-vacate period that safely applies to every periodic and fixed-term arrangement. Determine the period from the written or oral rental agreement, the tenancy structure, subsidy or program rules, and current Connecticut law.
