Conn. Gen. Stat. § 21 § 21-73
Collection of rents prohibited after suspension or revocation of permit or license. Management fee.
Operative Text
(a) Upon the suspension or revocation of a license or the refusal to renew a license, pursuant to section 21-71, the licensee shall be prohibited from collecting any rents or other consideration until the license is reinstated or reissued. In the event of such suspension, revocation or refusal to renew a license, the department may apply to the Superior Court for a receivership to carry on the management of the park with the costs of the receivership assessed against the owner. (b) Upon the automatic suspension of a license for failure to supply adequate sewerage, electrical, plumbing or sanitary services, water supply or fire protection the department may: (1) Collect such rents or other consideration and use the proceeds to provide any necessary services or; (2) apply to the Superior Court for a receivership to carry on the management of the park with the costs of the receivership assessed against the owner. (c) The department shall charge the licensee a fee of ten per cent of all rental payments collected to cover the cost of collection of rents and use of proceeds. (d) If the Commissioner of Consumer Protection finds that conditions constituting a threat to the health or safety of residents exist within a mobile manufactured home park, the commissioner may require the owner to post a bond in such form and amount as the commissioner shall require, which shall run to the state for the use of the state in the event the owner is unable to remedy such conditions.
Under Conn. Gen. Stat. § 21-73, when a mobile manufactured home park's operating license is suspended, revoked, or not renewed, the park owner loses the right to collect rent or any other payment from residents until the license is restored. The relevant state department may step in to collect rents itself—using the proceeds to fund essential services like sewage, water, or fire protection—or may seek a court-appointed receiver to manage the park, with those costs charged to the owner. A ten-percent management fee is assessed on any rents the department collects, and the Commissioner of Consumer Protection may require the owner to post a bond if health or safety threats are found on the property.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Conn. Gen. Stat. § 21-73 makes clear that a park operator whose license is suspended, revoked, or not renewed must immediately stop collecting rent or any other consideration from residents. Compliant operators generally maintain their license in good standing by keeping sewage, electrical, plumbing, water, and fire-protection services at adequate levels, since failure to do so can trigger automatic license suspension and state takeover of rent collection. Operators should also be aware that if the department steps in to collect rents, a ten-percent management fee will be deducted from those proceeds, and the Commissioner of Consumer Protection may require a bond if health or safety hazards are identified.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Conn. Gen. Stat. § 21-73 provides that a park owner whose license has been suspended, revoked, or not renewed is legally prohibited from collecting rent during that period, giving residents a potential basis to challenge any rent demands made while the license is inactive. If the state department takes over rent collection to restore essential services—such as water, sewage, or fire protection—residents' payments go toward funding those services rather than to the unlicensed owner. Tenants who believe their park's license has lapsed or that health and safety conditions exist may consider contacting the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection, consulting a tenant-rights organization, or raising the license status as a defense in any eviction or collection proceeding.
