Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47a § 47a-4f
Revenue management devices prohibited.
Operative Text
(a) As used in this section: (1) “Revenue management device” means a device commonly known as revenue management software that uses one or more programmed or automated processes to perform calculations of nonpublic competitor data concerning local or state-wide rents or occupancy levels, for the purpose of advising a landlord on (A) whether to leave a unit vacant; or (B) the amount of rent that the landlord may obtain for a unit. “Revenue management device” includes a product that incorporates a revenue management device, but does not include: (i) A report that publishes existing rental data in an aggregated manner but does not recommend rental rates or occupancy levels for future leases; or (ii) a product used for the purpose of establishing rent or income limits in accordance with the affordable housing program guidelines of a local, state or federal program. (2) “Nonpublic competitor data” means information that is not available to the general public, including information about actual rent amounts, occupancy levels, lease start and end dates and other similar data, regardless of whether the information is (A) attributable to a specific competitor or anonymized, and (B) derived from or otherwise provided by another person that competes in the same or a related market. (b) It shall be an unlawful practice in violation of chapter 624 for any person to use a revenue management device to set rental rates or occupancy levels for residential dwelling units. (c) Any violation of subsection (b) of this section shall be subject to the investigation and enforcement provisions of chapter 624.
Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47a-4f prohibits the use of so-called revenue management software — tools that process private competitor data about rents or occupancy to advise landlords on pricing or vacancy decisions — when setting residential rental rates or occupancy levels. The law defines these tools broadly to include any product that incorporates such software, while carving out aggregated market reports and affordable-housing compliance tools. Using a covered device for this purpose is classified as an unlawful practice under Connecticut's consumer protection framework (Chapter 624).
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47a-4f, property owners and managers who use algorithmic pricing platforms should review whether those tools rely on nonpublic competitor data — such as actual rent amounts, occupancy rates, or lease dates from rival landlords — to generate rental-rate or vacancy recommendations. Compliant operators generally set rents through methods that do not involve such automated processing of private competitor information, such as reviewing publicly available market surveys or aggregated reports that do not recommend specific rates. Because violations are subject to Chapter 624 enforcement, operators typically document their pricing methodology to demonstrate that prohibited software was not used.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47a-4f gives Connecticut renters a legal basis to question whether a landlord used prohibited revenue management software to set the rent on their unit. If a tenant believes this law has been violated, general enforcement paths include filing a complaint with the Connecticut Attorney General's office under Chapter 624, which governs unfair trade practices, or consulting a tenant-rights organization familiar with Connecticut housing law. Tenants may also raise a violation of § 47a-4f as a relevant issue in any related administrative or legal proceeding.
