          ‘‘Where a plaintiff issuing a notice to quit is not the
       owner of the property when the notice to quit is served,
       the notice to quit is defective, which deprives the court
       of subject matter jurisdiction. Before the [trial] court
       can entertain a summary process action and evict a
       tenant, the owner of the land must previously have
       served the tenant with notice to quit. . . . As a condi-
       tion precedent to a summary process action, proper
       notice to quit [pursuant to § 47a-23] is a jurisdictional
       necessity.’’ (Citations omitted; footnote omitted; inter-

       160 Conn. App. 153, 159–61, 124 A.3d 563, cert. denied,

          ‘‘Standing . . . is a practical concept designed to
       ensure that courts and parties are not vexed by suits
       brought to vindicate nonjusticiable interests and that
       judicial decisions which may affect the rights of others
       are forged in hot controversy, with each view fairly and
       vigorously represented. . . . These two objectives are
       ordinarily held to have been met when a complainant
       makes a colorable claim of direct injury he has suffered
       or is likely to suffer, in an individual or representative
       capacity. Such a personal stake in the outcome of the
       controversy . . . provides the requisite assurance of
       concrete adverseness and diligent advocacy. . . .
       Where a party is found to lack standing, the court is
       consequently without subject matter jurisdiction to
       determine the cause.’’ (Citations omitted; internal quo-
       tation marks omitted.) North Branford Citizens Against
       Bulk Propane Storage v. North Branford, 230 Conn.
       App. 335, 342–43, 330 A.3d 196 (2025). ‘‘The general rule
       is that one party has no standing to raise another’s
       rights. . . . When standing is put in issue, the question
       is whether the person whose standing is challenged is
       a proper party to request an adjudication of the issue
