Hamden, Conn., Mun. Code Ch. 33 §§ 33.70–33.88 § 33.82
COMMISSION'S DECISION
Operative Text
The Commission shall render its decision on any complaint filed with it by a party or parties no later than 60 days after the date of the filing of the complaint. However, the time limit for deciding any complaint may be extended by the Commission in any case involving unusual hardship or administrative difficulties. (Ord. 187, passed 11-5-79; Am. Ord. 734, passed 1-17-23)
Under Hamden Ch. 33 § 33.82, the Fair Rent Commission is required to issue a decision on any filed complaint within 60 days of the complaint's filing date. The Commission does, however, retain the authority to extend that deadline when a case presents unusual hardship or significant administrative difficulties. This rule sets a general timeline for complaint resolution rather than an absolute cutoff in every circumstance.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Hamden Ch. 33 § 33.82 establishes that landlords who are parties to a Fair Rent Commission complaint can generally expect a decision to be issued within 60 days of the complaint's filing. Operators familiar with this timeline typically keep records and documentation organized and accessible so they can respond promptly to any Commission requests during the review period. If the Commission invokes its extension authority due to hardship or administrative difficulties, the decision window may stretch beyond that standard 60-day period.

Under Hamden Ch. 33 § 33.82, tenants who file a complaint with the Fair Rent Commission are entitled to a decision generally within 60 days of the filing date. If that window passes without a decision, it may be worth contacting the Commission directly to inquire about the status, as the Commission does have authority to extend the timeline in cases involving unusual hardship or administrative difficulties. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Hamden's Fair Rent process can help explain what to expect during the complaint and decision process.
