A Connecticut 15-day notice to quit is a document notifying a tenant that they have committed a material violation and they must remedy the breach or risk eviction. A 15-day notice is used for violations other than non-payment of rent, conduct considered a serious nuisance, or the sale of illegal substances. This eviction notice gives the tenant fifteen (15) days to cure the violation, at which point the landlord can terminate the rental agreement and serve a 3-Day Notice to Quit.

Failure to correct the issue or vacate the premises after the 3-day notice period will result in an eviction suit being filed by the landlord. If this is the second offense within a six (6) month period, the landlord can skip the 15-day notice and serve a 3-day Notice to Quit.

Laws§ 47a-15
