For Property Managers

Under § 7-112, a landlord who wishes to participate in Norwich's security deposit loan program must be free of any outstanding debts owed to the City of Norwich or the Norwich Department of Public Utilities. Operators who routinely verify their accounts with both entities before seeking program funds are generally positioned to remain eligible. Landlords with unresolved balances with either body would be disqualified from receiving loan proceeds under this division until those debts are resolved.

For Tenants

Section 7-112 of the Norwich Code of Ordinances sets out the eligibility criteria that residents must meet to access security deposit loan assistance, including a general assistance determination and at least six months of bona fide Norwich residency prior to application. Tenants who believe they meet these requirements can explore the application process through the appropriate city assistance office. Those who are uncertain about their eligibility status or who encounter difficulties in the process may find it helpful to consult a local tenant-rights organization or legal aid provider familiar with Norwich's assistance programs.
