Glastonbury, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 9, art. III § 9-126
Screens
Operative Text
The owner of a dwelling or dwelling unit or structure shall be responsible for providing and hanging all screens and double or storm doors and windows whenever the same are required under the provisions of this article or any rule or regulation adopted hereunder, except where written agreement between the owner and occupant has provided otherwise. In the absence of such an agreement, maintenance or replacement of screens, storm doors and windows, once installed in any one (1) season, become the responsibility of the occupant.
Under Glastonbury Code of Ordinances ch. 9, art. III § 9-126, the owner of a dwelling or dwelling unit is responsible for supplying and installing screens, storm doors, and storm windows when those items are required by the article or related rules. Once the owner has installed these items during a given season, the responsibility for maintaining or replacing them shifts to the occupant for the remainder of that season. A written agreement between the owner and occupant can alter this default allocation of responsibility.

Under § 9-126, compliant property owners in Glastonbury generally ensure that required screens, storm doors, and storm windows are provided and properly hung at the start of each applicable season. Operators typically document any written agreements with occupants that modify the default responsibility arrangement, since the ordinance expressly permits such agreements. Once installation is complete for the season, maintenance and replacement obligations transfer to the occupant absent a contrary written agreement.
