Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47 § 47-88f
Applicability of tenants' rights and protections.
Operative Text
The provisions of this chapter affording certain rights and protections to tenants of dwelling units converted to a condominium form of ownership shall apply equally to tenants of dwelling units converted to any other form of planned community ownership.
Under Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47-88f, the tenant rights and protections established elsewhere in Chapter 47 for residents of units converted to condominium ownership extend equally to residents of units converted to any other form of planned community ownership. This means the type of ownership structure a developer chooses cannot be used to sidestep the tenant protections the chapter provides. The rule closes a potential gap that might otherwise allow conversions to non-condominium planned communities to proceed without the same tenant safeguards.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers overseeing conversions to any planned community form of ownership—not just condominiums—must observe the full set of tenant protections found in Chapter 47, as required by Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47-88f. Compliant operators generally apply the same notice requirements, displacement protections, and other tenant-facing obligations regardless of whether the conversion is structured as a condominium or another planned community vehicle. Reviewing all Chapter 47 obligations before initiating any conversion process is a standard part of due diligence under this provision.

Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47-88f confirms that tenants living in units being converted to any planned community ownership structure—not only condominiums—are entitled to the same rights and protections that Chapter 47 grants to tenants in condominium conversions. If a landlord proceeds with a non-condominium planned community conversion without honoring those protections, a tenant may be able to raise the violation as a defense in a legal proceeding or file a complaint with a relevant state or local housing authority. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Connecticut housing law can help residents understand which specific Chapter 47 protections apply to their situation.
