Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47a § 47a-56g
(Formerly Sec. 19-347f). Discharge of receiver.
Operative Text
The receiver shall be discharged upon rendering a complete accounting to the court when such condition has been removed and the cost thereof and all other costs authorized by sections 47a-56 to 47a-56i, inclusive, have been paid or reimbursed from the rents and income of the property and the surplus money, if any, has been paid over to the owner or the mortgagee or lienor as the court may direct. The receiver may be discharged at any time upon filing his account as receiver without affecting the right of the municipality to its lien. Upon the removal of such condition, the owner, the mortgagee or any lienor may apply for the discharge of the receiver upon payment to the receiver of all moneys expended by the receiver for removal of such condition and all other costs authorized by said sections which have not been paid or reimbursed from the rents and income of the property.
Under Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47a-56g, a court-appointed receiver overseeing a rental property may be formally discharged once the underlying housing condition has been corrected, all authorized costs have been covered, and any remaining surplus funds have been distributed to the property owner or lienholders as the court directs. The receiver can also be released at any point by filing an account with the court, without extinguishing the municipality's lien rights. This provision establishes the conditions and procedures that govern when and how a receivership ends.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47a-56g outlines the steps a property owner, mortgagee, or lienor can take to seek the discharge of a receiver once the cited housing condition has been remedied. Compliant operators generally ensure that all costs the receiver incurred—including those authorized under §§ 47a-56 to 47a-56i—are fully paid or reimbursed before or at the time of applying for discharge. Keeping clear financial records of all receiver-related expenditures and rents collected during the receivership period is a practice consistent with meeting the court's accounting requirements under this section.

Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47a-56g is relevant to tenants living in a property under court-ordered receivership because it governs when that receivership ends and how remaining funds are handled. Tenants may want to be aware that a receiver's discharge does not necessarily mean the municipality's lien on the property disappears, which can affect the property's ongoing management. Tenants with questions about how a receivership discharge might affect their housing situation can consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid provider familiar with Connecticut housing law.
