Glastonbury, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 2, art. XVII § 2-311
Amendments to state law or Municipal Charter
Operative Text
Any amendments to the state law referring to fair rent commissions or the Town Charter referring to council appointed commissions shall be automatically incorporated into this article and made a part thereof.
Section 2-311 of Glastonbury Code of Ordinances ch. 2, art. XVII establishes an automatic incorporation rule: whenever Connecticut state law governing fair rent commissions is amended, or whenever the Town Charter provisions governing council-appointed commissions are changed, those changes become part of this article without requiring a separate local legislative act. This keeps the local ordinance continuously aligned with higher-level legal authority. The provision functions as a living link between the local article and the broader legal framework above it.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 2-311 of Glastonbury's Code of Ordinances ch. 2, art. XVII, operators subject to the fair rent commission's jurisdiction should be aware that the rules governing that commission can shift whenever state law or the Town Charter is amended—automatically and without a new local vote. Compliant operators generally monitor updates to Connecticut fair rent statutes and the Town Charter so their practices remain current. Staying informed through the Town Clerk's office or official municipal publications is a common way to track such changes.

Section 2-311 of Glastonbury Code of Ordinances ch. 2, art. XVII means that the protections and procedures of the local fair rent article are always tied to the current version of state law and the Town Charter—so rights available under recently amended state fair rent statutes may automatically apply locally as well. Tenants who believe a relevant state or charter amendment has not been properly reflected in local commission practice may raise that point before the Glastonbury Fair Rent Commission. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Connecticut housing law can help identify whether recent amendments to state law affect a particular situation.
