East Haven, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 10, art. III § 10-39
Penalties for offenses
Operative Text
In accordance with the provisions of G.S. § 47a-6b or any subsequent revision to the same, the penalty for failing to timely file the required contact information under this chapter shall be fifty dollars ($50.00) for each dwelling unit owned by a nonresident owner-landlord and for each first offense. Thereafter, the penalty shall be one hundred dollars ($100.00) for each subsequent month that said filing(s) is/are delinquent, each month constituting a subsequent offense. Said penalties shall be cumulative.
East Haven Code of Ordinances ch. 10, art. III § 10-39 establishes a tiered penalty structure for nonresident owner-landlords who fail to file required contact information on time. The first offense carries a $50 fine per dwelling unit, and each subsequent month the filing remains delinquent adds a $100 penalty per unit. All penalties accumulate, meaning a landlord with multiple units and a prolonged delinquency can face a compounding total obligation.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under East Haven Code of Ordinances ch. 10, art. III § 10-39, compliant nonresident owner-landlords submit the required contact information by the applicable deadline for every dwelling unit they own. Operators who manage multiple properties generally track each unit's filing status separately, since the $50 first-offense penalty and $100 monthly subsequent-offense penalty apply on a per-unit basis. Because penalties are explicitly cumulative, maintaining a reliable filing calendar helps avoid a growing financial exposure across an entire portfolio.

East Haven Code of Ordinances ch. 10, art. III § 10-39 is designed to ensure that contact information for nonresident landlords is on file and accessible, which can be relevant when tenants need to reach a property owner or when local authorities need to enforce housing standards. If a tenant believes their nonresident landlord has not complied with this filing requirement, they may consider contacting the East Haven municipal office responsible for housing or code enforcement to inquire about the landlord's compliance status. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Connecticut housing law can also help explain how this provision interacts with other tenant protections under G.S. § 47a-6b.
