Specifically, the plaintiff argues that by finding the defendant’s actions justified due to her reliance on information provided by Calloway, the court improperly created an exception not found in the plain language of § 47a-16 (d). The plaintiff contends that permitting a landlord “to rely upon the representations of a third party with no possessory interest in the subject premises and without making any effort to contact the tenant prior to entry, creates an absurd and unworkable result. Such a holding creates precedent for potentially limitless exceptions to a rule that has ancient public policy considerations.” We disagree.
