AN ACT CONCERNING UTILITY CHARGES FOR RESIDENTIAL DWELLING UNITS.
SB 808 requires landlords to charge tenants only for utilities if the tenant's specific dwelling unit has an individual meter. This directly affects residential tenants in multi-unit buildings where utilities (like electricity or gas) are typically billed collectively. The key provision prohibits landlords from including utility costs in rent or charging tenants for shared utilities when a unit lacks its own meter. The bill aims to prevent unfair billing practices by ensuring tenants only pay for services they personally consume. It does not alter existing utility rates or require landlords to install new meters.
