Access to Food during COVID: Where can I go to get food?
Moratorium on Rent and Evictions
This means that Connecticut landlords can now file to evict tenants for nonpayment of rent. However, as part of the new eviction process landlords must give renters 30 days’ notice and the opportunity to pay what they owe.
In addition, landlords must file an application with UniteCT to receive COVID emergency funds for rent that is unpaid. The eviction is paused while the UniteCT application is pending, and if the landlord receives the unpaid rent from the tenant or UniteCT the tenant cannot be evicted for nonpayment.
Tenants can still be evicted with 30 days’ notice for overstaying their lease, and they can still be evicted for serious nuisances.
