Sec. 47a-26d. Trial. Finding. Judgment. If, on the trial of a summary process
complaint it is found that the defendant is the lessee of the complainant and holds over
after the termination of the lease or rental agreement or, if there was no lease or rental
agreement, that the defendant is the occupant of such premises and has no right or
privilege to occupy the same and that notice to quit has been given as provided in this
chapter, yet that the defendant holds possession or occupancy after the expiration of the
time specified in such notice to quit, and the defendant does not show a title in himself
which accrued after the giving of the lease or rental agreement, if any, or if the defendant
does not show a title in himself existing at the time the notice to quit possession or
occupancy was served upon him, the court shall forthwith enter judgment that the complainant recover possession or occupancy of the premises with his costs, and execution
shall issue accordingly subject to the provisions of sections 47a-35 to 47a-41, inclusive.
(P.A. 79-571, S. 55.)
