Conn. Gen. Stat. § 21 § 21-65a
Licensure of mobile manufactured home parks. Rents not recoverable, when.
Operative Text
(a) It shall be unlawful for any person to maintain or operate a mobile manufactured home park, within the limits of this state unless such person shall first obtain a license therefor, in accordance with the provisions of this chapter. Any license issued pursuant to this section and sections 21-64 to 21-73, inclusive, or any revocation thereof shall be posted in a conspicuous location on the grounds of the mobile manufactured home park or on the premises of any person engaged in the business of selling mobile manufactured homes. (b) No rent shall be recoverable by the owner for any period of time in which a mobile manufactured home park is maintained or operated in violation of this section.
Under Conn. Gen. Stat. § 21-65a, operating or maintaining a mobile manufactured home park in Connecticut without first obtaining the required state license is unlawful. Any license issued—or any revocation of that license—must be posted in a visible location on the park grounds or at any business selling mobile manufactured homes. Critically, an unlicensed operator cannot legally collect or recover rent for any period during which the park was run without a valid license.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Conn. Gen. Stat. § 21-65a makes clear that a valid license is a prerequisite for lawfully operating a mobile manufactured home park in Connecticut. Compliant operators obtain and maintain their license before accepting residents, post the license (or any revocation notice) in a conspicuous spot on the park grounds or at any associated sales premises, and renew the license as required under Chapter 21. Because rent is unrecoverable for any unlicensed period, keeping licensure current and the posted notice up to date is a core operational responsibility.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Conn. Gen. Stat. § 21-65a provides that a park owner cannot legally recover rent for any period during which the park was operated without the required state license. Residents of a mobile manufactured home park may wish to verify that a current license is visibly posted on the grounds, as its absence could be relevant to any rent dispute. Tenants who believe a park may be operating without a license can look into filing a complaint with the appropriate Connecticut state agency, consulting a tenant-rights organization, or raising the unlicensed status as a defense in a rent-recovery proceeding.
