Glastonbury, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 9, art. III § 9-66
Compliance with division prerequisite to occupancy
Operative Text
No person shall occupy as owner-occupant or let to another for occupancy any dwelling or dwelling unit, for the purpose of living therein, which does not comply with the requirements of this division.
Section 9-66 of Glastonbury Code of Ordinances Chapter 9, Article III establishes that no dwelling or dwelling unit may be occupied—whether by an owner or a tenant—unless it meets all requirements set out in the division. The rule applies both to those who live in their own property and to those who rent property to others. Compliance with the division's standards is a prerequisite to any lawful occupancy, not merely a goal to work toward after moving in.

Under Glastonbury Code of Ordinances ch. 9, art. III § 9-66, property owners and managers are generally expected to ensure that every dwelling or dwelling unit fully satisfies the division's requirements before allowing any occupancy to begin. Compliant operators typically conduct inspections and address any deficiencies prior to a tenant's move-in date or before resuming personal occupancy. Renting or allowing occupancy of a non-compliant unit exposes an owner to potential violations of this provision.

Glastonbury Code of Ordinances ch. 9, art. III § 9-66 means that a tenant has a right to occupy only a dwelling that meets the division's standards—a landlord is not permitted to rent out a unit that falls short of those requirements. If a tenant believes their unit was not in compliance at the time of occupancy, that non-compliance may be relevant to any enforcement or legal proceeding under this provision. Tenants can explore options such as contacting the local housing or code enforcement office in Glastonbury or reaching out to a tenant-rights organization for general information about available remedies.
