Bloomfield, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 12 § 12-6
Severability
Operative Text
If any terms, phrase, sentence, paragraph, section, or article of this code shall be declared invalid for any reason, such decision shall not affect the remaining parts of this code, and such parts shall continue in full force and effect and are hereby declared to be severable.
Section 12-6 of Bloomfield Code of Ordinances ch. 12, art. I establishes a severability rule, meaning that if any individual term, phrase, sentence, paragraph, section, or article within the code is found legally invalid, that finding does not invalidate the rest of the code. The remaining provisions continue to operate as if the invalidated portion never existed. This is a standard structural safeguard built into the code itself.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 12-6 of Bloomfield's Code of Ordinances, property owners and managers can generally rely on the fact that a legal challenge successfully invalidating one part of the rental code does not automatically nullify other obligations or protections found elsewhere in the code. Compliant operators typically continue to follow all other applicable provisions regardless of whether a specific section is under legal challenge. Staying current with which provisions remain in effect is a routine part of responsible property management.

Section 12-6 of Bloomfield Code of Ordinances ch. 12, art. I means that even if a landlord or other party successfully challenges one part of the local rental code, tenants generally retain the protections afforded by all other sections that have not been invalidated. Renters who believe their rights under a separate provision have been violated can still pursue those claims through available channels, such as filing a complaint with the appropriate local authority or consulting a tenant-rights organization. Understanding which provisions remain in force is an important part of knowing what protections apply.
