Cromwell, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 150 (2026) § 150-3
Findings and purpose (Cromwell Landlord Registration)
Operative Text
The Town Council of the Town of Cromwell finds that the identification and knowledge of the whereabouts of nonresident owners of residential rental housing units located within the Town of Cromwell is in the best interest of the community and will promote the public health, welfare, and safety of the residents of Cromwell. Accordingly, by enacting this chapter, the Town of Cromwell seeks to better protect, preserve and promote the health, safety, welfare and quality of life of its residents by requiring nonresident owners of residential rental housing units located within Cromwell to comply with this chapter.
Section 150-3 of Cromwell's Code of Ordinances establishes the legislative rationale behind the town's rental housing registration requirements. The Town Council determined that knowing the location and contact information of out-of-town owners of residential rental properties serves the community's health, safety, and welfare. This provision sets the foundation for the obligations that follow in Chapter 150, framing them as a public-interest measure rather than a punitive one.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Chapter 150, § 150-3 signals that Cromwell's rental registration rules are rooted in a community-interest finding, meaning compliance is treated as a matter of public responsibility. Operators who own residential rental units in Cromwell but live elsewhere are the primary focus of this chapter's requirements. Compliant nonresident owners generally ensure their contact information and whereabouts are accessible to the town as required by the subsequent provisions of Chapter 150.

Section 150-3 reflects Cromwell's stated commitment to protecting residents' health, safety, and quality of life through oversight of nonresident rental property owners. Because this provision establishes the purpose behind Chapter 150, tenants can reference it to understand the town's intent when raising concerns about an out-of-town landlord's compliance with the chapter. Tenants who believe a nonresident owner is not meeting the chapter's requirements may consider contacting the Town of Cromwell directly or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options.
