We first address the plaintiffs claims that the court improperly directed a verdict in favor of the defendant on counts one through four of her complaint, which alleged claims for damages based on each of the defendant’s individual attempts to evict the plaintiff allegedly in violation of § 47a-20, and counts fourteen through seventeen, which alleged claims for damages based on each of the defendant’s individual attempts to evict the plaintiff, allegedly in violation of § 47a-33. The court directed a verdict in favor of the defendant with respect to all of these counts, holding that neither statutory provision created a private cause of action for damages. On appeal, the plaintiff claims that the court’s ruling was improper. We disagree. Additionally, we note that during trial, specifically on July 1, 2004, the plaintiffs counsel clearly agreed that counts fourteen through seventeen failed to state a cause of action. Accordingly, we do not address those counts in our analysis.
