AN ACT CONCERNING THE STORAGE OF POSSESSIONS AND PERSONAL EFFECTS OF EVICTED TENANTS.
SB 516 eliminates the requirement for landlords and municipalities to store a tenant's belongings after an eviction. The bill amends statutes 47a-42 and 47a-42a to remove this mandate, directly affecting landlords, municipalities, and evicted tenants. Under the current law, property must be stored for a period; this bill removes that obligation entirely. The change simplifies post-eviction procedures but means tenants' items may no longer be held for retrieval.
