New Haven Code of Ordinances ch. 17, art. XV § 17-113 establishes that nonresident owners of residential rental property must keep a current address on file with the city's tax assessor as a condition of holding a rental license. A nonresident owner who fails to meet this requirement is ineligible to receive a rental license until the address is filed, and the city has authority to suspend or revoke an existing license upon discovering a violation. Additional penalties or fines beyond license denial may also be imposed under the residential rental licensing ordinance.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 17-113, nonresident property owners operating within New Haven's residential rental licensing program generally maintain an up-to-date address on file with the city's tax assessor at all times. Compliant operators treat this filing as an ongoing obligation rather than a one-time step, updating their address whenever it changes to avoid license denial, suspension, or revocation. Because additional fines may be layered on top of licensing consequences, operators familiar with this provision typically treat address-filing as a routine part of their compliance calendar.

Section 17-113 of the New Haven Code of Ordinances requires nonresident landlords to keep a current address on file with the city's tax assessor, and a landlord who fails to do so may be operating without a valid rental license. Tenants who believe their nonresident landlord is not in compliance with this provision can look into filing a complaint with the city, which has the authority to suspend or revoke the landlord's rental license. Tenant-rights organizations in New Haven can help residents understand what remedies may be available and how the residential rental licensing program intersects with their housing situation.
