Connecticut Lawmakers Push for Landlord Registration and Rent Caps

Connecticut lawmakers are considering new measures to tackle
rising housing costs and improve tenant protections. The proposed
legislation includes two key components: a statewide mandate for
landlords to register their rental properties with municipalities
and a temporary cap on rent increases following property
ownership changes. These initiatives aim to address concerns over
skyrocketing rents, which have seen increases of up to 60% in
some cases, and to ensure tenants and local officials have clear
access to landlord contact information.


In this episode, we discuss:


Why these laws are being proposed and the housing challenges
they aim to solve.

The details of the landlord registration requirement and how

including recent rent hikes and rising home prices.



Tune in for a deep dive into what these proposals could mean for
