Conn. Gen. Stat. § 42 § 42-103f
Prerequisites to issuance of listing.
Operative Text
No apartment listing service shall give a listing to a customer unless (1) the apartment listing service has verified the availability of the apartment which is the subject of the listing within the preceding seventy-two hours, (2) the listing meets the specifications of the customer as set forth in the contract and (3) the apartment listing service has been authorized by the owner of such apartment or by his authorized agent to give the listing to customers.
Under Conn. Gen. Stat. § 42-103f, an apartment listing service in Connecticut is prohibited from providing a listing to a customer unless three conditions are all met: the availability of the apartment has been confirmed within the past 72 hours, the listing matches the customer's stated specifications, and the property owner or their authorized agent has given permission for the listing to be shared. This rule is designed to protect consumers from paying for stale, mismatched, or unauthorized listings. It establishes a baseline of accuracy and consent that listing services must maintain before any listing changes hands.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers dealing with apartment listing services under Conn. Gen. Stat. § 42-103f should be aware that a listing service is required to obtain explicit authorization—from the owner or a designated agent—before sharing a unit's listing with prospective customers. Compliant operators typically document this authorization clearly and keep it current, ensuring that only listings they have approved are distributed. Maintaining clear records of which listings have been authorized can help avoid disputes about whether a service acted within its permitted scope.

Conn. Gen. Stat. § 42-103f gives customers of apartment listing services the right to receive only listings that are verified as available within the prior 72 hours, match the specifications outlined in the customer's contract, and have been authorized by the property owner. If a listing service provides a listing that fails any of these conditions, that may constitute a violation of this provision. Tenants or customers who believe a listing service has not complied can consider contacting Connecticut's consumer protection authorities or reaching out to a tenant-rights organization for general guidance on available options.
