Eviction is a legal process, not a property management task. In Connecticut, navigating the “Summary Process” action—the formal term for an eviction lawsuit—is fraught with technical requirements, strict timelines, and potential pitfalls that can cost a landlord significant time, money, and even the case itself. This is why partnering with an experienced Connecticut Landlord-Tenant Attorney is not just an option—it’s a critical investment.
