Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47a § 47a-35b
Distribution of payments after appeal.
Operative Text
Upon final disposition of the appeal, the trial court shall hold a hearing to determine the amount due each party from the accrued payments for use and occupancy and order distribution in accordance with such 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 those claims only to the extent of the total amount distributed.
Under Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47a-35b, once a housing appeal reaches its final resolution, the trial court must hold a hearing to decide how the use-and-occupancy payments that accumulated during the appeal should be divided between the parties. The court's distribution decision is grounded in each side's claims that arose while the case was pending, and it is binding only up to the total amount of funds actually distributed. Any claims beyond that distributed amount are not foreclosed by this determination.

Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47a-35b means that property owners who have been receiving or awaiting use-and-occupancy payments during an appeal should be prepared for a post-appeal court hearing where those accumulated funds are allocated. Compliant operators typically keep clear records of all payments made or owed during the pendency of proceedings, since the court's distribution is based on each party's claims arising in that period. Maintaining organized documentation of rent amounts, payment dates, and any relevant correspondence supports a straightforward accounting at the distribution hearing.

Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47a-35b gives tenants the right to participate in a court hearing held after an appeal concludes, at which the judge determines how use-and-occupancy payments collected during the case are to be divided. Tenants whose claims arose while proceedings were pending may present those claims at this hearing, and the court's ruling is conclusive only as to the funds actually distributed. Tenants seeking to understand how this process may affect their situation can consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid provider familiar with Connecticut housing law.
