CRADLE, J. In this summary process action, the
       defendant, Raschid Thompson, appeals from the judg-
       ment of possession, rendered after a court trial, in favor
       of the plaintiff, ECR 2 LLC. On appeal, the defendant
       claims that the court (1) violated his constitutional right
       to due process by denying his motion for a continuance
       of the trial date and refusing to consider his motion to
       preclude evidence and testimony that had not pre-
       viously been disclosed by the plaintiff; (2) applied the
       wrong legal standard in rejecting his special defense of
       equitable nonforfeiture; and (3) erred in rejecting his
       special defense that he had a right to cure, and did
       cure, his nonpayment of rent. We affirm the judgment
       of the trial court.
         The following facts, as set forth by the trial court,
       and procedural history are relevant to our consideration
       of the defendant’s claims on appeal. ‘‘The defendant is
       a veteran who was honorably discharged after serving
       in the United States Air Force from 1993 to 1997. He
       receives [United States Department of] Veterans Affairs
       disability benefits as well as rental assistance and [the
       assistance of] a case management counselor through
       the [United States] Department of Housing and Urban
       Development-VA Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH) pro-
       gram.
