Yep.

At the hearing, the judge will listen to the landlord and the tenant and
make a final decision regarding the eviction. If the judge decides the
eviction is necessary, the tenant will be ordered to move out of the
rental unit. If the tenant does not move out of the rental unit within
the appropriate time frame, the landlord can have a state marshal evict
the tenant (see Conn. Gen. Stat. Ann. § 47a-42).
It is very important to note that the landlord can never personally
evict the tenant. This type of action is often referred to as a
€œself-help€� eviction, and it is illegal in Connecticut. A €œself-help€�
eviction includes changing the locks on the doors and shutting off the
utilities to the rental unit. The tenant can sue the landlord for
damages, and the landlord can even face criminal charges (see Conn.
Gen. Stat. Ann. § § 47a-43, 47a-46, and 53a-214).
