Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Connecticut

End of Lease nowhere to go

My lease ended June 2001. I asked the landlord for a month to month agreement until I found a place. He agreed and collected July rent. I have been denied a mortgage that I waited three weeks to get an answer since then an apartment as plan B for was taken. On 8/1 I was asked to vacate the premises by 8/10. the landlord said they had someone else that was on section 8 and they would be a better tenant, guaranteed rent on the 1st (I paid all payments before the 10 of every month) I have paid Aug rent and asked the landlord to give me until the end of August to leave. He refused, he demanded I leave or he'll remove the doors and windows. Is this legal & what steps can I take to protect myself?

Re: End of Lease nowhere to go

As a month to month tenant the landlord is required to give you a 30 day notice to vacate the premises. At the end of that period, if you have not vacated, the landlord then must serve you with a notice of petition and petition to evict you, stating the date and time when you must appear in court. The court will then issue a Warrant to evict you by a certain date.
