Full Question:
My tenant has left the house without informing me. I guess he is not interested in coming back. What am I supposed to do in this situation? Can I rent the house to someone else or should I wait for my tenant?

Answer:
Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47a-11a states:
“(a) If the tenant abandons the dwelling unit, the landlord shall make reasonable efforts to rent it at a fair rental in mitigation of damages.
(b) If the landlord fails to use reasonable efforts to rent the dwelling unit at a fair rental, the rental agreement is deemed to be terminated by the landlord as of the date the landlord has notice of the abandonment.”
