    Notice before a rent increase

    Connecticut landlords must give written notice at least 45 days before a rent increase takes effect, or one full term for leases of a month or less; the statute does not allow an increase during a lease term, and silence from the tenant does not count as agreement (Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47a-4e).

    Rent control

    Connecticut caps no rents statewide, but local fair rent commissions, required in towns of 15,000 or more residents by Jan. 1, 2028, can hear complaints and limit an excessive rent or increase to a fair amount (Conn. Gen. Stat. §§ 7-148b(b)-(c), 7-148d(a)).

    Notice to end a month-to-month tenancy

    No Connecticut statute sets how much notice a tenant must give to end a month-to-month tenancy, so follow the lease; a landlord ends one by having a marshal serve a notice to quit for lapse of time that gives at least three full days and runs to the end of the rental month (Conn. Gen. Stat. §§ 47a-3b, 47a-23(a)).

    Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47a-23(a), Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47a-3b · checked October 30, 2026

    With 45 days' notice delivered on November 1, 2026, the earliest effective date the form accepts is December 16, 2026, and the example moves it to the first day of a month on or after that date. Connecticut's rule above sets different terms in some situations, so set the form's notice period to the one that fits your tenancy.

    City and county rules can be stricter than state law, and your lease can require more than the statute does. Use whichever rule gives the tenant more time or protection.
