Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47a-40 establishes that when a party files an application for a stay of execution and attends the related hearing, no entry fees, judgment fees, or court costs may be charged to or awarded against either side. This provision removes the usual financial barriers associated with that specific court process. Neither the landlord nor the tenant bears any fee or cost obligation arising solely from that application and hearing.

Under Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47a-40, a landlord participating in a stay-of-execution application and hearing should be aware that no entry fees, judgment fees, or costs will be taxed against either party in that proceeding. Compliant operators generally do not seek or expect a cost award from that specific process. Understanding this fee-free framework helps property managers set accurate expectations when navigating the stay-of-execution procedure.
