Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47 § 47-88d
Reimbursement for moving and relocation expenses.
Operative Text
Any declarant of a conversion condominium shall pay moving and relocation expenses to each household which does not purchase its dwelling unit and does not have an adjusted gross income for federal income tax purposes of more than twenty-one thousand dollars, if unmarried, or twenty-five thousand dollars jointly with spouse, if married, in an amount equal to the amount charged for two months' rent for such dwelling unit at the time the conversion was declared or one thousand dollars, whichever is greater.
Under Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47-88d, when a rental property is converted to condominiums, the party declaring the conversion must pay moving and relocation assistance to households that neither buy their unit nor exceed certain income thresholds. The payment must equal either two months' rent at the time of conversion or one thousand dollars, whichever is greater. Income limits are set at $21,000 for unmarried individuals and $25,000 jointly for married couples.
Plain English — not legal advice.
A declarant overseeing a conversion condominium under Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47-88d generally collects income information from each non-purchasing household to determine eligibility for relocation assistance. Compliant operators calculate the payment as the greater of two months' rent (based on the rent at the time of conversion) or $1,000, and disburse that amount before or at the time of displacement. Maintaining clear documentation of rent amounts, income verifications, and payment records supports compliance with this provision.

Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47-88d gives eligible tenants in a conversion condominium the right to receive moving and relocation assistance if they choose not to purchase their unit and meet the income requirements. If a declarant fails to provide this payment, tenants may have grounds to raise the violation as a defense or pursue a complaint through Connecticut's court system or a tenant-rights organization. Consulting a local housing advocacy group or legal aid office can help tenants understand whether they qualify and what general enforcement paths may be available.
