Bill > HB06343

This bill proposes to modify existing Connecticut state law regarding the handling of an evicted tenant's possessions by removing the municipality's obligation to store such items and instead placing the full financial responsibility for storage and potential sale of these belongings on the evicted tenant. Currently, municipalities were required to store an evicted tenant's personal possessions, which likely involved municipal resources and costs. Under the proposed legislation, the tenant would now be responsible for all expenses related to storing and potentially selling their personal effects after an eviction. This change shifts the burden of managing and paying for storage from local government to the individual tenant, potentially creating additional financial challenges for individuals already facing housing displacement. The bill aims to reduce municipal administrative responsibilities and associated costs related to tenant evictions by transferring these responsibilities directly to the tenant.
