Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47a § 47a-24a
Action by receiver of rents.
Operative Text
As used in this chapter, “owner or lessor” includes any receiver appointed under sections 47a-56 to 47a-56i, inclusive.
Under Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47a-24a, Connecticut law expands the definition of 'owner or lessor' to include court-appointed receivers operating under the receivership statutes (§§ 47a-56 through 47a-56i). This means that when a court places a rental property under receivership, the receiver steps into the legal shoes of the property owner for purposes of the chapter's rules. The provision ensures that the rights, duties, and obligations that normally apply to landlords also apply to receivers managing the property.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers should be aware that under Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47a-24a, a court-appointed receiver assumes the same legal standing as an owner or lessor under Connecticut's landlord-tenant chapter. Compliant operators typically maintain thorough records and clear communication channels so that, if a receivership is ever ordered, the transition of responsibilities is well-documented. Understanding this definitional provision helps operators anticipate how their obligations transfer when a receiver is appointed under §§ 47a-56 to 47a-56i.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47a-24a clarifies that tenants retain the same protections whether their building is managed by the original landlord or by a court-appointed receiver. If a receiver is managing a property under §§ 47a-56 to 47a-56i, tenants can generally assert the same rights against that receiver as they would against a traditional owner or lessor. Tenants who have questions about how a receivership affects their situation may find it helpful to contact a local tenant-rights organization or consult with a housing attorney familiar with Connecticut law.
