The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6354, seeks to amend title 47a of the general statutes to allow landlords to conduct inspections of rental housing units every six months. This change is intended to enable landlords to assess any potential damage to the properties they manage, thereby ensuring better maintenance and safety standards for tenants.
The bill introduces new legal language that explicitly permits these semi-annual inspections, while there are no deletions from the current law mentioned in the text. The overarching goal of the legislation is to enhance the oversight landlords have over their rental properties, which may ultimately benefit both landlords and tenants by promoting timely repairs and upkeep.
