Under Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47-88g, residents of a dwelling unit that is being converted to a condominium have the right to sue in Connecticut Superior Court if they believe a declarant or unit owner has violated certain protective provisions or has harassed or pressured them to leave their home. A court hearing such a case may award the prevailing plaintiff costs and reasonable attorney's fees. Beyond monetary damages, the court has discretion to grant injunctive or other equitable relief, either alongside or instead of a damages award.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47-88g creates meaningful legal exposure for declarants and unit owners involved in condominium conversions who fail to comply with the referenced protective statutes or who engage in conduct designed to pressure tenants to vacate. Compliant operators generally ensure that all required notices are delivered on time, that tenant rights under the conversion statutes are fully honored, and that no staff or agents take actions that could be characterized as harassment or improper inducement to vacate. Because the statute allows courts to award attorney's fees and equitable relief, operators typically maintain clear documentation of all tenant communications throughout the conversion process.

Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47-88g gives residents of a unit undergoing condominium conversion the right to file a lawsuit in the Superior Court for the judicial district where they live if they believe their landlord or a declarant has violated key conversion-protection statutes or has harassed them to force them out. If successful, a court may award you costs and reasonable attorney's fees, and may also order injunctive or other equitable relief in addition to or instead of monetary damages. Tenants who believe their rights under this provision have been violated may wish to contact a tenant-rights organization or consult an attorney familiar with Connecticut condominium conversion law to understand the options available to them.
