Cal. Civ. Code § 17b-812-10
Disbursement of rental assistance payments
Operative Text
The department or its agent shall pay rental assistance payments directly to the owner or the owner's designated representative. The rental assistance payment shall be the amount stated in the rental assistance contract between the department and the owner. (Effective March 21, 1996; Amended February 9, 2000; Amended May 31, 2007; Amended December 28, 2012)
Under Conn. Agencies Regs. § 17b-812 § 17b-812-10, Connecticut's Department of Social Services (or its designated agent) sends rental assistance payments directly to the property owner or whoever the owner has officially designated to receive them. The dollar amount of each payment is determined by the rental assistance contract that the department and the owner have entered into together. This rule establishes the payment flow and the source of the payment amount, rather than leaving either to informal arrangement.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Conn. Agencies Regs. § 17b-812 § 17b-812-10 establishes that compliant owners participating in Connecticut's rental assistance program maintain a current rental assistance contract with the department, since that contract is the governing document for the payment amount they will receive. Owners who wish payments directed to a property manager or other representative generally ensure that designation is formally documented with the department or its agent. Keeping contract terms and representative designations up to date helps ensure payments are issued to the correct party in the correct amount.

Conn. Agencies Regs. § 17b-812 § 17b-812-10 governs how rental assistance funds flow — payments go directly to the owner or the owner's designated representative, not through the tenant. Tenants participating in a program covered by this provision can review their rental assistance contract documentation to understand what amount has been agreed upon between the department and their landlord. If questions arise about whether payments are being made correctly or credited properly, tenants may contact the Connecticut Department of Social Services or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance.
