For Property Managers

Hartford, Conn., Mun. Code ch. 18 § 18-81 requires that each hotel unit be equipped with its own bathroom, so compliant operators generally ensure that every rentable unit contains at least one functioning bathroom before it is made available to guests or tenants. Property managers conducting routine inspections typically verify that this minimum standard is met in every unit. Maintaining documentation of bathroom facilities in each unit can support compliance records during municipal inspections.

For Tenants

Hartford, Conn., Mun. Code ch. 18 § 18-81 gives occupants of hotel units the right to a bathroom within their unit as a matter of local code. If a unit lacks a bathroom, that condition may constitute a code violation that can be reported to the relevant Hartford municipal authority. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Hartford housing code can help occupants understand what options are generally available when a unit does not meet this standard.
