This chapter is enacted pursuant to the provisions of Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47a-6a, § 47a-6b, and § 7-148. (Ord. 744, passed 6-18-24)
Section 128.02 of Hamden's Nonresident Landlord Registration ordinance establishes the legal foundation for the entire Chapter 128 registration framework. The Town of Hamden enacted this chapter by drawing on authority granted under Connecticut General Statutes §§ 47a-6a, 47a-6b, and 7-148, which collectively empower municipalities to regulate nonresident landlords. This provision does not itself impose requirements but confirms that the rules in Chapter 128 rest on valid state-law authorization, passed by ordinance on June 18, 2024.

Section 128.02 confirms that Hamden's nonresident landlord registration rules in Chapter 128 are backed by Connecticut state law, giving the ordinance a firm legal footing. Tenants can take note that the protections and requirements established throughout Chapter 128 derive from authority granted under Conn. Gen. Stat. §§ 47a-6a, 47a-6b, and 7-148, meaning the framework is not easily dismissed as exceeding local power. Tenants who believe a nonresident landlord is not complying with Chapter 128 may consider contacting Hamden's town offices or a local tenant-rights organization to explore available options.
