Eviction attorneys in Greenwich, Connecticut

Greenwich landlords file summary process cases in the Stamford Housing Session of the Superior Court (123 Hoyt Street, Stamford), which covers Greenwich, Stamford, Darien, New Canaan, Norwalk and the rest of lower Fairfield County. It is one of the busier housing sessions in the state, so return dates and mediation slots can run a week or two longer than in smaller courts. Notices to quit in Greenwich must be served by a Connecticut state marshal; the Fairfield County marshals list is published by the State Marshal Commission.

Two things trip up Greenwich landlords more than most. First, the town's rental stock is heavy on single-family and small multifamily rentals owned by out-of-state landlords, and out-of-state lease forms often skip the Connecticut nine-day grace period and the 15-day pre-termination (Kapa) notice for lease violations. Second, Greenwich has many high-rent leases where a stay of execution for use and occupancy can be expensive to carry; a firm that practices regularly in the Stamford session will know what the judges expect on stipulated move-out dates. The firms below represent landlords in Greenwich and the surrounding Fairfield County towns. For the full statewide process, read the Connecticut eviction guide.
