In the present case, the April, 2023 notice to quit
          specified twelve instances of conduct by the defendant,
          or individuals in the premises acting with his consent,
          that ‘‘was done in violation of [the defendant’s] [l]ease
          [a]greement, the [h]ousing [a]uthority’s [r]ules and
          [r]egulations, constitutes a violation of your statutory
          obligations as a tenant pursuant to General Statutes
          § 47a-11, constitutes a nuisance pursuant to General
          Statutes § 42a-32 and/or serious nuisance pursuant to
          General Statutes § 47a-15.’’ Our law recognizes that the
          notice to quit generally is considered adequate when
          the language of that notice tracks the language of § 47a-
          23 (a). Vidiaki, LLC v. Just Breakfast & Things!!! LLC,
          supra, 133 Conn. App. 18; see also Sullivan v. Lazzari,
          supra, 135 Conn. App. 840; Thomas E. Golden Realty
          Co. v. Society for Savings, 31 Conn. App. 575, 580, 626
          A.2d 788 (1993). In the present case, the plaintiff’s notice
          to quit generally tracked the statutory language. The
          defendant argued, and the trial court agreed, that the
          notice to quit failed to provide sufficient detail to inform
          the defendant of the specific lease provisions and/or
          statutory sections on which the plaintiff was proceeding
          with respect to its efforts to end the lease and regain
          possession of the premises. We disagree, however, that
          our law requires such specificity.
