Connecticut rent increase rules

30 days rent-increase notice.

Connecticut has no statewide rent cap, but towns may have fair-rent commissions. Month-to-month increases require reasonable notice (commonly 30 days).

What this means for you: A local fair-rent commission may review increases you believe are excessive.

Your next step: Check whether your town has a fair-rent commission if an increase seems unreasonable.
