Cromwell, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 150 (2026) § 150-8
Severability (Cromwell Landlord Registration)
Operative Text
Should any court of competent jurisdiction declare any section or clause or provision of this chapter to be unconstitutional or ultra vires, such decision shall affect only such particular section, clause or provision so declared unconstitutional and shall not affect any other section, clause or provision of this chapter.
Cromwell, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 150 § 150-8 establishes a severability rule for the chapter, meaning that if a court finds any individual section, clause, or provision to be unconstitutional or beyond the town's legal authority, only that specific piece is invalidated. The rest of the chapter continues in full force as if the struck portion had never been included. This is a standard legal mechanism designed to preserve as much of the ordinance as possible after a successful legal challenge.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ch. 150 § 150-8, property owners and managers can generally rely on the remaining provisions of Chapter 150 remaining in effect even if one part is successfully challenged in court. A compliant operator continues to follow all other sections of the chapter unless a court has specifically declared a particular provision invalid. Staying informed about any court decisions affecting Chapter 150 is a practical part of ongoing compliance.

Section 150-8 of Cromwell's Code of Ordinances means that a court ruling striking down one part of Chapter 150 does not automatically eliminate tenant protections found elsewhere in the chapter. Tenants who believe a specific provision has been invalidated by a court may want to verify the scope of that ruling before assuming broader portions of the chapter are affected. Tenant-rights organizations can help clarify which parts of Chapter 150 remain operative following any such decision.
