Norwich, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 4, art. V § 4-185
Severability of provisions of sections 4-182 through 4-184
Operative Text
If any provision of sections 4-182 through 4-184 or the application thereof to any person or circumstance is held invalid for any reason, such invalidity shall not affect the other provisions or any other application of sections 4-182 through 4-184 which can be given effect without the invalid provisions or application, and to this end all the provisions of section 4-182 through 4-184 are hereby declared to be severable.
Section 4-185 of the Norwich Code of Ordinances establishes a severability rule for the rent-related provisions found in sections 4-182 through 4-184. If a court or other authority finds any part of those sections legally invalid, the remaining portions continue in full force as though the invalid part had never been included. This is a standard legal mechanism designed to preserve as much of the regulatory framework as possible when one element is struck down.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Norwich Code of Ordinances ch. 4, art. V § 4-185, operators subject to sections 4-182 through 4-184 should understand that a legal challenge invalidating one part of those provisions does not automatically nullify the rest. Compliant property managers generally continue to observe all remaining, unaffected requirements even if a specific clause is successfully challenged. Staying current on any judicial or administrative rulings affecting sections 4-182 through 4-184 helps operators understand which obligations remain in effect.

Section 4-185 of the Norwich Code of Ordinances means that tenant protections established in sections 4-182 through 4-184 are not an all-or-nothing package — if one element is invalidated, the others generally remain enforceable. Tenants who believe their rights under sections 4-182 through 4-184 have been violated may still be able to raise those provisions as a basis for a complaint or defense, even if a separate part of the same article has been challenged. Consulting a tenant-rights organization familiar with Norwich ordinances can help clarify which specific protections remain in effect.
