Conn. Gen. Stat. § 8 § 8-30i
Sales price of certain housing subject to affordable housing deed restriction or limitation of bylaws of condominium unit owners' association.
Operative Text
Notwithstanding any provision of the general statutes or the bylaws of a condominium unit owners' association, adopted under section 47-80, or any affordable housing deed restriction limiting the sales price of housing subject to such provisions or restrictions, an owner who purchased such housing on or after July 1, 2004, but before July 15, 2004, for an amount exceeding the amount specified in every such provision or restriction may sell such housing for an amount not exceeding the amount such owner paid to purchase the housing.
Conn. Gen. Stat. § 8-30i creates a narrow exception to affordable housing price restrictions and condominium bylaw sales-price limits. Specifically, owners who purchased qualifying affordable housing between July 1, 2004, and July 14, 2004, and who paid more than the price cap set by those restrictions, are permitted to resell the property for up to—but not more than—what they originally paid. This rule overrides otherwise applicable deed restrictions and condominium association bylaws that would have required a lower sales price.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners or managers dealing with affordable housing subject to deed restrictions or condominium bylaws should be aware that Conn. Gen. Stat. § 8-30i provides a limited resale relief provision. Operators who acquired such housing within the specific July 1–14, 2004 window and paid above the restricted price generally document their original purchase price carefully, as that amount sets the ceiling for any permissible resale under this provision. Compliance typically involves ensuring that any resale price does not exceed the documented original purchase price, even if market values have since risen.

Under Conn. Gen. Stat. § 8-30i, tenants and prospective buyers of affordable housing should understand that a seller's ability to price a unit above the deed-restriction or bylaw cap is tightly limited to a very specific purchase window in 2004. If a seller claims this exception, the resale price is capped at what that seller originally paid—not at any higher market value. Tenants or buyers who believe a sales price may exceed what this provision allows can look into filing a complaint with a local housing authority or consulting a tenant-rights organization for guidance on available remedies.
