Farmington, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 27 (2026) § 27-4
Procedures (Farmington Fair Rent Commission)
Operative Text
The procedures to be followed by the Commission as to considerations in determining whether rental charges are excessive and in ordering rent reduction or suspension shall be as provided by state law.
Section 27-4 of Farmington, Connecticut's rental regulations establishes that the local Commission does not operate under a separate local procedural framework when evaluating whether rental charges are excessive or when ordering rent reductions or suspensions. Instead, the Commission is bound to follow whatever procedural rules are set out under Connecticut state law for those determinations. This provision effectively ties the local process to the state-level framework, ensuring consistency between local and state standards.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Farmington Code ch. 27 § 27-4, the Commission's review of rental charges—including any proceedings that could result in a rent reduction or suspension order—follows state law procedures rather than a purely local ruleset. Operators who receive notice of a Commission review should familiarize themselves with the applicable Connecticut state law procedural requirements, since those rules govern how evidence is presented and how decisions are reached. Maintaining thorough documentation of rent levels and any justifications for increases is a practice consistent with compliance in this framework.

Tenants who believe their rent may be excessive can look to both the local Commission and the underlying state procedural rules to understand how a complaint or review proceeding would unfold. Consulting a tenant-rights organization familiar with Connecticut housing law can help clarify what procedural protections apply under this provision.
