Connecticut General Statutes Title 47A. Landlord and Tenant § 47a-56b. Appointment of receiver of rents: Service

(a) Such rule to show cause shall be returnable not less than five days after service is completed.

(b) The rule to show cause shall provide for personal service of a copy thereof and the application on which it is based on the owners and mortgagees of record and lienors.

(c) If any such owner, mortgagee or lienor cannot with due diligence be served personally within the municipality where the property is located and within the time fixed in such order, service may be made on such person by posting a copy thereof in a conspicuous place on the property where the nuisance exists, and by sending a copy thereof by registered mail, return receipt requested, to the owner at the address set forth in the last-recorded deed with respect to such property, or, in the case of a mortgagee or lienor, to the address set forth in the recorded mortgage or lien and by publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the judicial district where such property is located.

(d) If the condition constituting the nuisance is such that, unless it is immediately cured, substantial damage may be caused to the property or if it constitutes an imminent danger to its occupants or the occupants of adjoining properties, the rule to show cause may be returnable in the discretion of the court in less than five days and, in such case, service may be made on the owner, mortgagee and lienor by posting a copy thereof in a conspicuous place on the property where the nuisance exists and by mailing a copy in the case of the owner to the address set forth in the last-recorded deed and, in the case of the mortgagee and lienor, to the address recorded. In such action the court may issue an immediate ex parte order granting such relief as it deems appropriate, pending a full hearing to be held not later than three days after such order is issued.
