For Property Managers

Under § 7-112, a landlord who wishes to participate in Norwich's security deposit loan program must be free of any outstanding debts owed to the City of Norwich or the Norwich Department of Public Utilities. Operators who routinely verify their accounts with both entities before seeking program funds are generally positioned to remain eligible. Landlords with unresolved balances with either body would be disqualified from receiving loan proceeds under this division until those debts are resolved.

Those who are uncertain about their eligibility status or who encounter difficulties in the process may find it helpful to consult a local tenant-rights organization or legal aid provider familiar with Norwich's assistance programs.
