AN ACT CONCERNING THE AMOUNT A LANDLORD MAY REQUIRE FOR A SECURITY DEPOSIT.

SB 678 removes legal limits on how much landlords can charge for security deposits in Connecticut. Currently, state law restricts security deposit amounts, but this bill would eliminate that restriction. The change directly affects renters (who pay deposits) and landlords (who collect them), allowing landlords to set deposits at any amount without statutory limits. The bill does not introduce new requirements or protections, only repealing the existing cap on deposit amounts.
