I am a lawyer in CT that practices in this area. What you need to do is go to the housing court and ask the clerk to show you how to fill out a Eviction Notice/Notice to Quit Possession. This document places the tenant on notice that they have to leave. You must give the tenant 3-5 days depending on the rules in your state.If the tenant fails to move out, then you can bring a summary process/eviction action to have a judge order them out. this process usually takes 3-4 weeks if there is no contested issues. Hopefully the notice to quit will get the person out.
