Norwalk, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 39 § 39-24
When effective (Norwalk Fair Rent Commission Ordinance)
Operative Text
This chapter shall take effect on the first day of the next month after its enactment and due compliance with the provisions of § 1-193 of the Charter of the City of Norwalk (1956), as amended.
Norwalk, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 39 § 39-24 establishes when the rent-regulation chapter becomes operative: it takes effect on the first day of the month following both its formal enactment and compliance with the procedural requirements of § 1-193 of the 1956 Norwalk City Charter, as amended. This is a timing provision that anchors the chapter's legal start date to a specific calendar trigger rather than the date of passage itself. It ensures that all parties have a clear, predictable moment from which the chapter's rules apply.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Norwalk, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 39 § 39-24, the effective date of the rent-regulation chapter is tied to the first day of the month after enactment and Charter compliance, not the date the ordinance was voted on. Operators who manage rental property in Norwalk generally track this effective date carefully, since obligations and restrictions under the chapter begin running from that point forward. Maintaining records of when the chapter became operative can be useful for demonstrating compliance with any provisions that are measured from the effective date.
