Conn. Gen. Stat. § 21 § 21-80b
Effect of notices.
Operative Text
Nothing in subsection (f) of section 21-70, section 21-70a, subsection (a) of section 21-80, subdivision (1) of subsection (b) of section 21-80 and this section shall be construed to invalidate an otherwise effective notice or to validate an otherwise ineffective notice given or served pursuant to section 21-70 or 21-80 prior to June 23, 1999.
Conn. Gen. Stat. § 21-80b establishes that the provisions added or amended by a 1999 legislative update do not retroactively change the legal status of notices that were issued before June 23, 1999. A notice that was legally valid before that date remains valid, and one that was legally defective before that date remains defective, regardless of what the newer rules say. This provision is essentially a savings clause that preserves the legal effect of pre-1999 notices as they stood under the law at the time they were given.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Conn. Gen. Stat. § 21-80b, property owners who issued notices to manufactured-home park residents before June 23, 1999, can generally rely on the legal status those notices held at the time they were served. Compliant operators typically maintain records of historical notices so that the validity of any older notice can be assessed under the rules that applied when it was issued. If questions arise about a pre-1999 notice, the relevant legal standard is the law as it existed before the 1999 amendments took effect.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Conn. Gen. Stat. § 21-80b means that if a landlord or park operator served a notice before June 23, 1999, the newer statutory provisions do not automatically make that notice valid or invalid — its legal effect is determined by the law in place at the time it was given. Tenants who believe a historical notice was defective under the pre-1999 rules may have grounds to raise that defect, and the 1999 amendments do not cure it. Tenant-rights organizations or legal aid offices familiar with Connecticut manufactured-housing law can help residents understand how this savings clause might apply to older notices in their situation.
