Plain English — not legal advice.
Under §§ 2-113e–g, East Hartford landlords who own residential rental property are eligible to serve on the Fair Rent and Quality Housing Commission, which oversees rent and housing quality matters in the town. Operators who stay informed about the Commission's composition and authority — drawn from both local ordinance and state statute — are generally better positioned to understand the regulatory environment governing their properties. Familiarity with the Commission's mandate under Connecticut General Statutes sections 7-148b through 7-148f can help property owners anticipate the scope of its oversight.
