Hartford, Conn., Mun. Code ch. 2, art. V, div. 21 § 2-330.95
Effective date of orders regarding rents
Operative Text
A decision by the commission regarding particular rented premises shall take effect on the date specified by the commission, but if no such date is indicated, the decision shall take effect on the next date on which rent would otherwise be due.
Under Hartford Municipal Code ch. 2, art. V, div. 21 § 2-330.95, when the Hartford rent commission issues a decision about a specific rental property, that decision becomes operative either on a date the commission explicitly designates or, if no date is named, on the next scheduled rent-due date. This rule establishes a clear default timing mechanism so that commission orders do not take effect in an ambiguous or open-ended way. The provision applies to decisions about particular rented premises, meaning it governs the timing of individualized rulings rather than general policy changes.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to Hartford Municipal Code ch. 2, art. V, div. 21 § 2-330.95 generally review each commission decision carefully to identify whether a specific effective date has been stated. When no date is specified, compliant operators treat the next scheduled rent-due date as the operative start of the order and adjust their rent collection or other practices accordingly from that point forward. Keeping organized records of commission decisions and the corresponding rent-due dates helps operators apply orders at the correct time.

Hartford Municipal Code ch. 2, art. V, div. 21 § 2-330.95 establishes that tenants are entitled to have commission decisions applied on a defined, predictable date—either the date the commission specifies or the next rent-due date if none is given. If a tenant believes a commission order is not being honored from its proper effective date, they may raise that concern directly with the Hartford rent commission or consult a local tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options. Documenting rent payment dates and retaining copies of commission decisions can help tenants track whether an order has been applied at the correct time.
