Connecticut Landlord and Tenant Law, by Nobel F. Allen, covers the
legal relationship between tenants and landlords, both in commercial and
residential settings. It has been prepared as a desktop reference, with case
law and statutory mandates, and includes MODEL FORMS for housing court and
other landlord-tenant civil litigation. The forms (in print and on cd) are
included in the purchase price of the book.
Published in October 2008, this single volume reference book is update
bi-annually.
First section, Overview of Lease Construction and Interpretation,
provides a general overview as well as the obligations of the landlord and
tenant.
Second section, Summary Process Litigation, provides a statutory
blueprint for prosecuting, defending and appealing an eviction action. Specific
statutory requirements that are mandatory within summary process litigation are
highlighted: from the elements of the KAPA notice, to the notice to quit, to
the summary process execution.
Third section, Landlord Tenant Litigation, addresses non-summary
process litigation. In this section, Noble addresses the difference between a
nonpayment of rent action and a breach of lease action, as well as the
statutory and common law formulas for calculating damages resulting from a
breach of lease, and various other causes of action and defenses employed in
civil landlord tenant litigation.
Valuable Appendices include an annotated glossary of common trigger
provisions and concepts in commercial lease litigation and two sets of MODEL
FORMS: housing court forms and other landlord-tenant related forms. The forms
are also included on cd.
