Connecticut Landlord Bundle: 3 Kits in One Download (Connecticut Landlord Kit, Connecticut Small Claims Kit, Eviction Case File Organizer)

Who it is for

Landlords and property managers with rentals in Connecticut: the state's rules, a small claims case for unpaid rent or damage, and an eviction case file if it comes to that.

Not the right fit if

Your rentals aren't in Connecticut, or you only need one of the kits. Not a property management or legal service.

Why it is different

• 3 kits for 30% less than buying them one by one; each keeps its own folder in the download.
• The Connecticut kits are built only from our Connecticut data files: Connecticut data files, checked November 2026 against 11 official pages, among them Connecticut Department of Banking: Rental Security Deposits; Connecticut Department of Banking: Deposit Index and Interest Rates; Connecticut General Assembly: General Statutes Chapter 832 (Summary process); Connecticut Office of Legislative Research: Report 2018-R-0232, late rent grace period and late fees (September 5, 2018); Connecticut General Assembly: General Statutes Chapter 830 (Rights and responsibilities of landlord and tenant); Connecticut General Assembly: 2026 Supplement, Chapter 830 (47a-15a as amended by Nov. Sp. Sess. P.A. 25-1), plus Justia (statute text) and FindLaw Codes and Nolo (a vetted secondary source, marked in the kit) where no official page could be read; Connecticut small claims data file, checked November 2026 against Connecticut Judicial Branch: Small Claims FAQ; Connecticut Judicial Branch E-Services: electronic filing (includes small claims matters; enrollment for self-represented parties and attorneys).
• Eviction Case File Organizer covers every state; the Connecticut kits carry the state rules.
