Sec. 47a-27. (Formerly Sec. 52-535). Summary process by assignee and mortgagee. The remedy provided by this chapter in favor of lessors shall extend to all persons
deriving title from the lessor or lessee of any land, building, apartment or dwelling unit
and to the mortgagee of any land, building, apartment or dwelling unit, after his title
has become absolute by foreclosure, and to all persons deriving title from him, or from
the mortgagor. On a complaint by the mortgagee or his assigns, it shall be sufficient for
him to prove the mortgage and his title thereunder, the foreclosure and the failure to
redeem, that notice to quit at or after the expiration of the time limited for redemption
has been served on the defendant and that he is the mortgagor, or one holding under
him, and holds possession after the expiration of the term specified in such notice, unless
the defendant can show a superior title in himself.
