Landlord/Tenant Law Appellate Court Opinion

by Zigadto, Janet

 

AC47023 - Housing Authority v. Cyr ("In this summary process action, the plaintiff, the Housing Authority of the town of Manchester, appeals from the judgment of dismissal rendered by the trial court in favor of the defendant Brandon Cyr. On appeal, the plaintiff claims that the court improperly granted the defendant's motion to dismiss after concluding that the pretermination notice and notice to quit were invalid and that, therefore, it lacked subject matter jurisdiction to hear the summary process action. The defendant disagrees and further contends, for the first time on appeal and as an alternative ground for affirming the judgment of the trial court, that the pretermination notice and notice to quit did not comply with federal notice requirements, and, therefore, the court lacked subject matter jurisdiction. We conclude that the court improperly dismissed this summary process action.")
