to ascertain and give effect to the apparent intent of
       the legislature. . . . In other words, we seek to deter-
       mine, in a reasoned manner, the meaning of the statu-
       tory language as applied to the facts of [the] case,
       including the question of whether the language actually
       does apply. . . . In seeking to determine that meaning,
       General Statutes § 1-2z directs us first to consider the
       text of the statute itself and its relationship to other
       statutes. If, after examining such text and considering
       such relationship, the meaning of such text is plain and
       unambiguous and does not yield absurd or unworkable
       results, extratextual evidence of the meaning of the
       statute shall not be considered.’’ (Internal quotation

          Section 47a-15 provides in relevant part: ‘‘Prior to the
       commencement of a summary process action, except
       in the case in which the landlord elects to proceed
       under sections 47a-23 to 47a-23b, inclusive, to evict
       based on nonpayment of rent, on conduct by the tenant
       which constitutes a serious nuisance or on a violation
       of subsection (h) of section 47a-11, if there is a material
       noncompliance with section 47a-11 which materially
       affects the health and safety of the other tenants or
       materially affects the physical condition of the prem-
       ises, or if there is a material noncompliance by the
       tenant with the rental agreement or a material noncom-
       pliance with the rules and regulations adopted in accor-
       dance with section 47a-9, and the landlord chooses to
       evict based on such noncompliance, the landlord shall
       deliver a written notice to the tenant specifying the acts
