Plain English — not legal advice.
Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47a-38 establishes that once a tenant files a stay-of-execution application, the court process moves on a defined timeline: the clerk schedules the matter on the short calendar and must provide at least three days' notice to all parties. Property owners and managers should be prepared to receive short-notice hearing dates and ensure their contact information or attorney's information is current with the court so that notice reaches them promptly.

Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47a-38 gives tenants who file a stay-of-execution application the right to a formal hearing, with at least three days' advance notice of the time and place. This procedural protection means the court cannot act on the application without first notifying all parties. Tenants seeking to understand how to file such an application or what to expect at the hearing may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid provider familiar with Connecticut housing court procedures.
