Under Trumbull Municipal Code ch. 2, art. III, div. 3 § 2-137, any individual or entity that is negatively affected by a Commission order has the right to challenge that decision in the Superior Court for the Judicial District of Fairfield. The appeal window is narrow: it must be initiated within ten days of the date the decision notice is sent to the parties. This provision mirrors a similar mechanism established under Connecticut General Statutes § 7-148e.

For Property Managers

Trumbull Municipal Code ch. 2, art. III, div. 3 § 2-137 provides property owners and managers with a formal avenue to contest Commission orders they believe are incorrect or unjust. Operators who receive an adverse decision generally track the date the notice is sent, since the ten-day filing deadline begins at that point rather than when the notice is received. Maintaining organized records of all Commission correspondence helps ensure that any appeal opportunity is not inadvertently missed.

For Tenants

Section 2-137 of the Trumbull Municipal Code gives tenants who are harmed by a Commission order the right to appeal that decision to the Superior Court for the Judicial District of Fairfield. Because the ten-day deadline runs from when the notice is sent—not necessarily when it is received—it is important to act promptly upon receiving any Commission decision. Tenant-rights organizations or legal aid services familiar with Connecticut housing law can help explain what this appeal process involves and what options may be available.
