Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47a § 47a-3e
Notice to potential tenant when dwelling unit located in common interest community.
Operative Text
Whenever a dwelling unit in a common interest community is rented from a declarant, successor declarant or person acting on the declarant's or successor declarant's behalf, such declarant, successor declarant or person shall, prior to entering into a rental agreement, provide the tenant with a written notice that the dwelling unit is located in a common interest community.
Under Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47a-3e, when a dwelling unit located in a common interest community (such as a condominium or planned development) is rented by a declarant or their representative, the law requires that a written notice be given to the prospective tenant before any rental agreement is signed. The notice must inform the tenant that the unit is part of a common interest community. This rule ensures that renters have this material information before committing to a lease.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47a-3e places a clear pre-lease obligation on declarants, successor declarants, and anyone acting on their behalf who rents units within a common interest community. Compliant operators prepare a written disclosure stating that the dwelling unit is situated in a common interest community and deliver it to prospective tenants before the rental agreement is executed. Maintaining a signed acknowledgment of this notice in the tenant's file is a common practice that helps document compliance.

Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47a-3e gives prospective tenants the right to receive written notice that a unit is located in a common interest community before signing any rental agreement. If a declarant or their representative failed to provide this disclosure, that omission may be relevant to any dispute about the rental arrangement. Tenants who believe this notice was not provided can consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid office to understand what options may be available to them.
