Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47a § 47a-26f
Hearing to distribute payments.
Operative Text
After entry of final judgment, the court shall hold a hearing to determine the amount due each party from the accrued payments for such use and occupancy and order distribution in accordance with its determination. Such determination shall be based upon the respective claims of the parties arising during the pendency of the proceedings after the date of the order for payments and shall be conclusive of such claims only to the extent of the total amount distributed.
Under Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47a-26f, once a court enters a final judgment in a housing proceeding, it must hold a follow-up hearing to calculate how much of the accumulated use-and-occupancy payments each party is owed and then order those funds distributed accordingly. The court's allocation is based on each party's claims that arose while the case was pending, starting from the date the payment order was issued. The distribution ruling is binding only up to the total amount actually paid out, meaning any claims beyond that sum are not resolved by this determination.

Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47a-26f establishes that property owners who have been receiving court-ordered use-and-occupancy payments during a housing proceeding can expect a post-judgment hearing where the court tallies and distributes those accumulated funds. Compliant operators generally keep clear records of all payments received and any outstanding amounts owed during the pendency of the case, since the court's distribution is grounded in claims arising within that specific period. Being prepared with organized documentation of rent arrears and payments can help ensure the hearing proceeds efficiently.

Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47a-26f gives tenants the right to participate in a court hearing held after final judgment, at which the court determines how accumulated use-and-occupancy payments are to be divided between the parties. Tenants may have claims to a portion of those funds depending on what occurred during the pendency of the proceedings after the payment order was issued. Those who believe they have a stake in the distribution may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid provider to understand how to present their claims at that hearing.
