No, in Connecticut, a landlord generally cannot evict a tenant immediately. The law requires written notice before starting the eviction process.
For most eviction reasons, landlords must give at least a 3-day written notice to quit. This includes nonpayment of rent or lease violations.
In very limited situations involving serious illegal conduct, such as prostitution or illegal gambling in the unit, the landlord may proceed without providing the standard notice. However, the landlord must still go through the court process and obtain an eviction order before the tenant can be removed.
