Killingly, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 4, art. III § 4-57
Compliance required
Operative Text
Section 4-57 Compliance required A. No person shall let to another for occupancy or use any premise(s) which does not comply with the requirements of this Article. B. The owner of any premise(s), unless otherwise specified, shall provide and maintain such premise(s) in compliance with the requirements of this Article. C. Every occupant of a premise(s) shall keep all supplied fixtures and facilities therein in a clean and sanitary condition and shall be responsible for the exercise of reasonable care in the proper use and operation thereof.
Section 4-57 of Killingly's Rental Housing Standards Code establishes a three-way compliance framework. No one may rent out a property that fails to meet the Article's housing standards, and property owners bear the primary duty to provide and maintain premises in conformance with those standards. Occupants, in turn, are responsible for keeping supplied fixtures and facilities clean, sanitary, and properly used.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 4-57 of the Killingly Rental Housing Standards Code, compliant operators generally ensure that every rental unit meets the Article's standards before it is offered or occupied, and they maintain those conditions throughout the tenancy. This means routinely inspecting and servicing supplied fixtures and facilities so the property remains in conformance. Owners should also be aware that the compliance obligation rests with them regardless of occupant conduct, except where the ordinance specifies otherwise.

Section 4-57 gives occupants a defined role in maintaining the rental unit: keeping supplied fixtures and facilities clean, sanitary, and properly operated. At the same time, the provision places the overarching maintenance and compliance duty on the property owner, which tenants may reference if conditions fall below the Article's standards. Tenants who believe their unit does not meet Killingly's Rental Housing Standards Code requirements may consider contacting the local housing or code enforcement office, or reaching out to a tenant-rights organization for general guidance.
