Glastonbury, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 9, art. II § 9-16
Determination of income level for protection against certain landlord actions
Operative Text
For the purposes of G.S. § 47a--23c, it is determined that the adjusted gross income for federal income tax purposes shall be twenty-one thousand dollars ($21,000.00) if the lessee is unmarried, or twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000.00) jointly with spouse if married.
Glastonbury Code of Ordinances ch. 9, art. II § 9-16 establishes local income thresholds that determine which tenants qualify for protections under Connecticut General Statute § 47a-23c against certain landlord actions, such as eviction. An unmarried lessee must have an adjusted gross income (as reported for federal tax purposes) at or below $21,000, while a married lessee and spouse must have a combined adjusted gross income at or below $25,000. These figures represent the municipality's exercise of its authority to set income limits within the framework of state law.

Under Glastonbury Code of Ordinances ch. 9, art. II § 9-16, operators initiating actions covered by G.S. § 47a-23c—such as summary process proceedings—should be aware that certain low-income tenants may qualify for statutory protections based on these locally defined income thresholds. Compliant operators generally account for whether a lessee's adjusted gross income falls at or below $21,000 (unmarried) or $25,000 (married, combined) before proceeding with covered actions. Familiarity with both the local ordinance and the underlying state statute helps operators understand the full scope of tenant eligibility for these protections.
