Bill Summary
To require cause for the eviction of certain tenants and residents of mobile manufactured home parks.
AI Summary
This bill modifies Connecticut's existing tenant protection law to expand protections against eviction for certain vulnerable populations and mobile home park residents. The bill applies to tenants who are 62 years or older, have a physical or mental disability, or have lived in their current housing for at least 13 months. Landlords can only evict these protected tenants for specific reasons, including nonpayment of rent, material noncompliance with rental agreements or safety regulations, or a genuine intent to use the property as a principal residence for themselves or certain family members. The bill requires landlords to provide at least 90 days' written notice for certain types of evictions and limits rent increases to what is considered fair and equitable based on specific criteria. Additionally, the bill mandates that landlords provide tenants with a written notice explaining their rights, which the Connecticut Department of Housing must create in plain language and make available in English and Spanish, with plans to translate it into the five most commonly spoken languages in the state by December 2028. The law is set to take effect on October 1, 2025, and aims to provide more stability and protection for vulnerable tenants in residential and mobile home settings.
