174 A.3d 193, 327 Conn. 974

PRESIDENTIAL VILLAGE, LLC
v.
Tonya PERKINS

Supreme Court of Connecticut.

Decided November 29, 2017

Amy Eppler-Epstein, in support of the petition.

Hugh D. Hughes, in opposition.

The defendant's petition for certification to appeal from the Appellate Court, 176 Conn. App. 493, 170 A.3d 701 (2017), is granted, limited to the following issues:

"1. Did the Appellate Court properly reverse the trial court's holding that a federal pretermination notice for nonpayment of rent must be limited to rent charges that are a permissible basis for such an eviction under Connecticut summary process law?

"2. Did the Appellate Court properly conclude that state law is not relevant in determining whether the information provided in a federal pretermination notice is so misleading as to render it jurisdictionally defective?
