Connecticut Guide to Landlord-Tenant Law delivers authoritative analysis and practical tools for attorneys navigating residential and commercial leasing matters in Connecticut. Designed for both landlords’ and tenants’ counsel, this single-volume treatise provides clear guidance on lease formation, enforcement, termination and litigation.

Thoughtfully organized for ease of use, the treatise separates coverage into two distinct parts:

• Part I: Residential Leasing
• Part II: Commercial Leasing

Residential chapters are designated with an “R” numbering system, while commercial chapters are labeled with a “C,” allowing practitioners to quickly identify relevant content. This structure is especially valuable in Connecticut’s evolving residential landlord-tenant landscape, including right-to-counsel considerations in eviction matters.

Residential leasing coverage includes:

• Overview of residential landlord-tenant law
• Rights and obligations of residential landlords and tenants
• Residential landlord-tenant litigation and summary process

Commercial leasing coverage includes:

• Drafting and analyzing commercial lease clauses
• Attorney’s fees and damages in commercial tenancies
• Lease termination strategies
• Determining parties, relationships and grounds for summary process
• Commercial subleases, assignments and property management issues
• Commercial security deposits, death, bankruptcy and consumer protection considerations

In addition to in-depth analysis, the treatise includes sample commercial lease clauses accompanied by practical commentary to support effective drafting and negotiation.
