AN ACT PROHIBITING A LANDLORD FROM DEMANDING A SECURITY DEPOSIT IN EXCESS OF ONE MONTH'S RENT FROM ANY TENANT.

HB 6337 would limit security deposits for all tenants to one month's rent, prohibiting landlords from demanding higher amounts under state law. This bill directly affects renters (who pay deposits) and landlords (who collect them), amending existing housing regulations to cap deposits at one month's rent. The key provision changes Section 47a-21 of the general statutes to enforce this one-month rent maximum. It applies uniformly to all residential rental agreements without exceptions. The bill aims to reduce financial barriers for tenants while clarifying landlord obligations.
