Glastonbury Code of Ordinances ch. 9, art. III § 9-96 means that a tenant has a right to occupy only a dwelling that meets the division's requirements—a unit that does not comply should not lawfully be rented or occupied at all. If a tenant believes their unit was let to them in a non-compliant condition, they may consider raising that non-compliance as a relevant fact in any housing proceeding or contacting the appropriate local housing or code enforcement office in Glastonbury. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Connecticut housing law can help explain what options may be available under this provision.
