The courts of this state have long concluded that a valid notice to quit terminates a lease. Indeed, a review of case law from these courts reveals that this principle has been recognized in this state as far back as the early part of twentieth century and has been applied consistently ever since. See Thompson v. Coe, 96 Conn. 644, 651, 115 A. 219 (1921) (“[w]e think the service of the notice to quit was a definite, unequivocal act of the lessor showing the exercise of her option to terminate, and that it took effect on . . . the date the notice was served”); Tseka v. Scher, 135 Conn. 400, 404, 65 A.2d 169 (1949) (“the lessor can terminate the lease under these circumstances only by a re-entry or other unequivocal act, such as a notice to quit”); Borst v Ruff, 137 Conn. 359, 361, 77 A.2d 343 (1950) (“[b]y serving the notice to quit . . . the landlord performed an act which was sufficiently unequivocal to terminate the tenancy”); Kligerman v. Robinson, 140 Conn. 219, 222, 99 A.2d 186 (1953) (“While the tenant’s nonpayment of rent did not automatically terminate the lease, his failure to make a tender for [two] months . . . entitled the landlord to end the tenancy by some unequivocal act. . . . That act, in the instant case, was the service of the notice to quit.” [Citation omitted.]); Mayron’s Bake Shops, Inc. v. Arrow Stores, Inc., 149 Conn. 149, 156, 176 A.2d 574 (1961) (“[t]he service of the notice to quit . . . [is] the landlord’s first unequivocal act notifying the tenant of the termination of the lease”); Danpar Associates v. Falkha, 37 Conn. Sup. 820, 824, 438 A.2d 1209 (1981) (“Some unequivocal act by the plaintiff showing that it had exercised its option to terminate was necessary. . . . Service of the notice to quit . . . would constitute such an act.” [Citation omitted.]); Bushnell Plaza Development Corp. v. Fazzano, 38
