Conn. Gen. Stat. § 7 § 7-148g
Fair housing commission; creation and powers.
Operative Text
Any town, city or borough may, through its legislative body, create a fair housing commission to make studies and receive complaints relative to discrimination in dwellings within its jurisdiction, which term shall include mobile manufactured homes and mobile manufactured home park lots, in order to control and eliminate discrimination in such dwellings, and to enforce fair housing ordinances adopted pursuant to section 7-148 or section 7-194. The commission may be empowered to retain legal counsel to advise it.
Under Conn. Gen. Stat. § 7-148g, Connecticut municipalities—towns, cities, and boroughs—are authorized to establish a local fair housing commission through their legislative bodies. Such a commission can conduct studies, receive discrimination complaints related to dwellings (including mobile manufactured homes and mobile manufactured home park lots), and enforce locally adopted fair housing ordinances. The commission may also retain legal counsel to support its work.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Conn. Gen. Stat. § 7-148g enables local governments to create fair housing commissions with authority to investigate discrimination complaints and enforce local fair housing ordinances. Property owners and managers operating in municipalities that have established such a commission should be aware that the commission can receive complaints, conduct studies, and take enforcement action regarding discriminatory practices in dwellings. Operators who maintain consistent, non-discriminatory policies and practices in their rental operations are generally better positioned to respond to any commission inquiry.

Conn. Gen. Stat. § 7-148g gives municipalities the power to create a local fair housing commission that can receive complaints about housing discrimination, including in mobile manufactured homes and mobile manufactured home park lots. Tenants who believe they have experienced discrimination in housing may be able to file a complaint directly with their municipality's fair housing commission if one has been established. Tenant-rights organizations can help identify whether a local commission exists, explain what types of complaints it handles, and describe other available enforcement paths.
