The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 441, mandates that any town, city, or borough in Connecticut with a population of at least ten thousand must establish a fair rent commission. This requirement is intended to provide a mechanism for addressing rental disputes and ensuring fair housing practices within these municipalities.
To implement this change, the bill amends subsection (b) of section 7-148b of the general statutes by inserting the requirement for the establishment of a fair rent commission in qualifying municipalities. There are no deletions from the current law specified in the bill text. The overall goal of the legislation is to enhance tenant protections and promote equitable rental practices in larger communities.
