Operative Text

Enfield, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 2, art. III, div. 5 § 2-157
Any person aggrieved by any order of the fair rent commission may appeal to the superior court for the judicial district in which the town is located. Any such appeal shall be considered a privileged matter with respect to the order of trial.

Plain English

Under Enfield Code of Ordinances ch. 2, art. III, div. 5 § 2-157, any individual who believes they have been harmed by a Fair Rent Commission order has the right to challenge that order in the Superior Court for the judicial district where Enfield is located. Appeals brought under this provision are treated as privileged matters, meaning they receive priority placement in the court's trial schedule. This creates a formal judicial review pathway outside of the commission itself.

For Property Managers

Enfield Code of Ordinances ch. 2, art. III, div. 5 § 2-157 establishes that landlords who receive an adverse Fair Rent Commission order are not without recourse — a Superior Court appeal is available. Operators who pursue this path generally document the commission proceedings thoroughly and act within applicable filing deadlines. Understanding that such appeals are given priority scheduling can inform how a property owner plans for the resolution timeline.

For Tenants

Section 2-157 of the Enfield Code of Ordinances ch. 2, art. III, div. 5 means that tenants, like any aggrieved party, may appeal a Fair Rent Commission order to the Superior Court if they believe the order was harmful to them. Because these appeals are treated as privileged matters in the court's trial order, the process may move more quickly than standard civil litigation. Tenants seeking to understand whether an appeal is appropriate for their circumstances may benefit from consulting a tenant-rights organization or legal aid provider familiar with Connecticut housing law.
