SB00333

Connecticut SB00333 amends rental laws to define advance rental payments and limit security deposits.

Connecticut SB00333 amends the state's rental laws by defining "advance rental payment" and limiting the amount of security deposits landlords can demand. The bill specifies that landlords cannot charge a move-in or move-out fee and limits security deposits to one month's rent for tenants aged 62 and older, and two months' rent for those under 62. It also prohibits landlords from demanding any payment, fee, or charge before or at the beginning of the tenancy, except for a security deposit, a key deposit, or a fee for a tenant screening report. The changes take effect on October 1, 2026.
