While no case cited to the court establishes whether the presumption of § 47a-20 may be rebutted by reasons other than those found in § 47a-20a, the court is of the opinion that the language of § 47a-20a clearly delineates the only grounds for such rebuttal. As a result, the plaintiff’s claim, that his unlawful lockout of the defendant established his prior intent to evict and therefore rebuts the statutory presumption of retaliatory eviction, is incorrect.
