Effect of amendments to state law (West Haven Fair Rent Commission)
Operative Text
Any additions to the state law referring to Fair Rent Commissions will be automatically incorporated into this chapter.
Under West Haven, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 97 § 97-10, the local Fair Rent chapter is designed to stay in sync with Connecticut state law automatically. Whenever the state legislature adds new provisions related to Fair Rent Commissions, those additions become part of West Haven's local ordinance without requiring a separate local amendment. This means the local rules can expand or change as state law evolves, without any additional action by the city council.

Property owners and managers operating under West Haven's rent regulations should be aware that ch. 97 § 97-10 means the local Fair Rent rules are not static.

Tenants in West Haven benefit from ch. 97 § 97-10 because any new tenant protections the Connecticut legislature adds to Fair Rent Commission law are automatically folded into local rules.
