Conn. Gen. Stat. § 8 § 8-30h
Annual certification of continuing compliance with affordability requirements. Noncompliance.
Operative Text
On and after January 1, 1996, the developer, owner or manager of an affordable housing development, developed pursuant to subparagraph (B) of subdivision (1) of subsection (a) of section 8-30g, that includes rental units shall provide annual certification to the commission that the development continues to be in compliance with the covenants and deed restrictions required under said section. If the development does not comply with such covenants and deed restrictions, the developer, owner or manager shall rent the next available units to persons and families whose incomes satisfy the requirements of the covenants and deed restrictions until the development is in compliance. The commission may inspect the income statements of the tenants of the restricted units upon which the developer, owner or manager bases the certification. Such tenant statements shall be confidential and shall not be deemed public records for the purposes of the Freedom of Information Act, as defined in section 1-200.
Under Conn. Gen. Stat. § 8-30h, operators of qualifying affordable rental housing developments must submit annual certifications confirming that their properties remain in compliance with the affordability covenants and deed restrictions tied to the development. If a development falls out of compliance, the rule requires that the next available units be rented to income-eligible households until compliance is restored. The overseeing commission is authorized to review tenant income statements used as the basis for certification, though those statements are treated as confidential and are not subject to public disclosure under Connecticut's Freedom of Information Act.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Conn. Gen. Stat. § 8-30h places an ongoing annual reporting obligation on developers, owners, and managers of affordable rental developments built under the relevant subsection of § 8-30g. Compliant operators generally maintain accurate records of tenant income, submit timely certifications to the commission, and stand ready to make those income statements available for commission inspection. When a property falls out of compliance with its covenants or deed restrictions, operators are expected to prioritize income-eligible applicants for the next available units until the development returns to compliance.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Conn. Gen. Stat. § 8-30h establishes that the affordable housing development where you live is subject to annual compliance certification, meaning the operator must regularly confirm to the commission that income and occupancy restrictions are being honored. If you believe the development is not meeting its affordability obligations, you may consider contacting the commission directly, as it has authority to inspect the income records underlying those certifications. Tenant income statements reviewed by the commission are treated as confidential under this provision, so tenants concerned about their privacy or about potential noncompliance may also wish to consult a tenant-rights organization familiar with Connecticut affordable housing law.
