Status: in_force

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) of this section, if permitted by subdivision (1) of subsection (b) of section 21-80 , the owner may maintain an action to recover possession of the premises if: (1) The resident is using the dwelling unit or the premises for an illegal purpose or for a purpose which is in violation of the rental agreement or for nonpayment of rent; (2) the condition complained of was caused by the wilful actions of the resident or another person in his household or a person on the premises with his consent; or (3) the owner seeks to recover possession pursuant to section 21-80 on the basis of a notice which was given to the resident before the resident's complaint.

(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) of this section, an owner may increase the rent of a resident if: (1) The condition complained of was caused by the lack of due care by the resident or another person in his household or a person on the premises with his consent; (2) the owner has become liable for a substantial increase in property taxes, or a substantial increase in other maintenance or operating costs not associated with his complying with the complaint, not less than four months before the demand for an increase in rent, and the increase in rent does not exceed the prorated portion of the net increase in taxes or costs; or (3) the owner in good faith is increasing the rent in a manner permitted by subdivision (5) of subsection (b) of section 21-80 .

(b)(1)(C), the park owner may maintain such action nevertheless by establishing that the resident is in material noncompliance with the lease and using the premises for a purpose that violates the rental agreement. 305 C. 488.

Since Sec. 47a-20 is essentially analogous in wording and purpose to this section, the analysis used to interpret Sec. 47a-20 as creating a rebuttable presumption of retaliation may be used to construe this section as well. 118 CA 163; judgment affirmed on alternate grounds, see 305 C. 488.

Subsec. (b):

The phrase “for a purpose which is in violation of the rental agreement” encompasses more than the use of the property for an overall purpose that is in violation of the rental agreement, but also includes the situation in which the resident's conduct is in violation of a material provision of the rental agreement. 118 CA 163; judgment affirmed on alternate grounds, see 305 C. 488.

Defendant held to have burden of proving that tablets found in his possession, which he had obtained by prescription, were in container in which he received them. 148 C. 57. Cited. 163 C. 62. Where defendant offered no evidence of a license to sell narcotics but requested a charge to jury, no charge need have been given, but charge stating exemption and its inapplicability was a correct statement of law and in no way prejudicial. 164 C. 224. Determination of defendant's status as a person who is not drug-dependent under Sec. 19-480a(b) (21a-278(b)) is an exemption under this statute and examination of language of both statutes leads to conclusion that burden of producing evidence of drug dependency initially rests on defendant. 182 C. 142.
