Mansfield, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 152 art. I (2026) § 152-5
Applicability (Mansfield Art. I Landlord Registration)
Operative Text
This article shall apply to all existing occupied or vacant residential rental housing units and their associated premises in the Town of Mansfield, except that residential housing units that are the property of the State of Connecticut shall be exempt. This exemption shall not include residential rental housing units owned by an entity leasing real property from the State of Connecticut.
Mansfield, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 152 art. I § 152-5 establishes that the town's residential rental housing rules apply broadly to all occupied and vacant rental units and their associated premises within Mansfield. The only carve-out is for housing units that are directly owned by the State of Connecticut itself. Notably, if a private entity leases land from the state and operates rental housing on it, those units are still covered by the article and do not benefit from the exemption.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 152-5, property owners and managers operating residential rental units in Mansfield should treat their properties as subject to ch. 152 art. I unless the units are directly owned by the State of Connecticut. Operators whose buildings sit on state-leased land but are owned or managed by a private entity remain fully covered by the article's requirements. Compliant operators generally confirm their ownership and lease structure to determine whether any exemption applies before assuming they fall outside the article's scope.

Section 152-5 means that most tenants renting in Mansfield—whether their unit is currently occupied or was previously vacant—are protected by the provisions of ch. 152 art. I. The exemption for state-owned housing is narrow and does not extend to units managed by private entities on state-leased land, so many tenants in mixed public-private arrangements may still have rights under this article. Tenants who are uncertain whether their unit falls within the article's coverage can consult local tenant-rights organizations or the Town of Mansfield for guidance on how the applicability rules affect their situation.
