I submit that the startling conclusion reached by the majority here is that any occupant, whether family member, visitor or whatever, whose presence on the premises is derived from the person in actual possession, becomes a tenant at sufferance and therefore has available the full panoply of rights found in § 47a-1 et seq., including, e.g., the right to notice to quit possession, the right to institute legal action to enforce the landlord’s responsibilities, the right to secure substitute housing in event of the failure of the landlord to provide essential services, or to recover two month’s rent or double the actual damages sustained by the tenant due to the landlord’s failure to provide such services, etc. I do not believe that this is the contemplation of the statute. Accordingly, I dissent.
