Cal. Civ. Code § 8-37ee-801
Application process for initial occupancy or participation
Operative Text
(a) Entities shall provide an application period for any housing opportunity that extends for at least ninety (90) days before initial occupancy or participation in a program administered by the entity for a new housing opportunity. The entity shall establish an application deadline which sets forth the date by which all applications shall be completed and returned. The entity shall not consider applications received after the deadline unless: (1) there is an insufficient number of initial applicants; or (2) the housing agency determines that more affirmative marketing is necessary. (b) Entities shall create and use a standard application form that conforms with all applicable state and federal laws and make available a copy of such application if requested by the housing agency. (c) Entities shall provide the opportunity for any person seeking to apply for any housing opportunity during the application period to do so. (d) Applications shall set forth how persons with disabilities may request a reasonable accommodation pursuant to section 46a-64c of the Connecticut General Statutes to provide such persons with an opportunity to apply. (e) Entities shall date and time stamp each application received upon receipt. Entities shall give each applicant a receipt with the date and time on it upon request. (f) Entities shall assign a control number to each application received. (g) Entities shall create a separate record for each application. The record contents shall be considered confidential. (h) An entity may begin application evaluation upon receipt of applications at its discretion consistent with the requirements of Part 5 of subtitle 8-37ee of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies.
Under Conn. Agencies Regs. § 8-37ee § 8-37ee-801, housing entities must open an application window of at least 90 days before a new housing opportunity becomes available, establish a clear deadline, and accept all applications submitted within that window. Each application must be date- and time-stamped upon receipt, assigned a control number, and kept in a confidential individual record. The rule also requires that application forms be standardized, comply with state and federal law, and explain how people with disabilities may request a reasonable accommodation.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Conn. Agencies Regs. § 8-37ee § 8-37ee-801 sets out specific administrative steps that compliant housing operators follow when opening a new housing opportunity. Operators typically open the application period a full 90 days before occupancy or program participation begins, publish a firm deadline, and maintain a documented process for date- and time-stamping, control-number assignment, and confidential record-keeping for every application received. Compliant operators also ensure their standard application form is available upon request by the housing agency and includes language explaining the reasonable-accommodation request process for applicants with disabilities.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Conn. Agencies Regs. § 8-37ee § 8-37ee-801 gives prospective applicants the right to apply during a minimum 90-day window and to receive a dated, time-stamped receipt upon request, which can serve as documentation that an application was submitted on time. The provision also requires that application forms explain how people with disabilities may request a reasonable accommodation under Connecticut General Statutes § 46a-64c, so applicants who need adjustments to the process have a recognized path to request them. If you believe an entity has not followed these procedures, general enforcement paths include raising the issue with the relevant housing agency or consulting a tenant-rights organization familiar with Connecticut housing regulations.
