Conn. Gen. Stat. § 8 § 8-64b
Nondisclosure of tenant Social Security and bank account numbers.
Operative Text
(a) No entity purchasing a housing project or a portion of a housing project from a housing authority shall disclose to the public the Social Security number or a bank account number of a tenant of said project that is contained in the tenant's lease agreement. (b) No housing authority may disclose to any private person, except a purchaser of a housing project owned by the authority, the Social Security number or bank account number of any tenant of said project without the permission of such tenant. (c) Any person who violates any provision of this section shall be fined not more than two hundred dollars.
Under Conn. Gen. Stat. § 8-64b, entities that purchase a housing project from a housing authority are prohibited from publicly disclosing tenants' Social Security numbers or bank account numbers found in lease agreements. Housing authorities themselves are also restricted from sharing this sensitive information with private parties, with the narrow exception of a prospective purchaser of the project. Tenant permission is required before a housing authority may share such data with any other private individual.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners or managers who acquire a housing project from a housing authority should be aware that Conn. Gen. Stat. § 8-64b strictly limits what they may do with tenant financial identifiers obtained through lease records. Compliant operators treat Social Security numbers and bank account numbers contained in those leases as confidential and do not release them to the general public. Operators who violate this provision face a fine of up to $200 per violation.

Conn. Gen. Stat. § 8-64b gives tenants in housing authority projects a right to have their Social Security numbers and bank account numbers kept confidential, whether the project is sold to a private buyer or remains under housing authority management. If a tenant believes this information has been improperly disclosed, they may report the potential violation to the relevant housing authority or consult a tenant-rights organization to understand available options. A violation of this section can result in a fine of up to $200 for the party responsible for the disclosure.
