Connecticut General Statutes Title 47. Land and Land Titles § 47-288. Registration of common interest community. Notice to Department of Housing

(a) If a common interest community contains or will contain any conversion building, or any land currently or formerly in a mobile manufactured home park, in which any unit was last occupied as a dwelling unit, the declarant, prior to creating such common interest community, shall register such common interest community and each dwelling unit therein with the Commissioner of Housing in such manner as the commissioner may prescribe by regulations adopted pursuant to section 47-295. The declarant's registration shall be accompanied by a registration fee of fifty dollars per dwelling unit being converted. No declarant shall offer to sell, sell or otherwise dispose of a unit in a common interest community until such registration is filed and such registration fees are paid.

(b) At the time of giving a conversion notice, the declarant shall send a copy of the conversion notice to the Commissioner of Housing, together with: (1) The address of the property; (2) the number of occupied dwelling units in the property on the day of the notice; (3) the number of dwelling units in the property on the day of the notice; and (4) the number of dwelling units in the property occupied at any time during the preceding twelve months.

(c) The Commissioner of Housing, in addition to taking any action authorized by section 47-294, shall require the declarant to (1) provide the Department of Housing with a copy of the public offering statement and (2) distribute to tenants any material which the commissioner has prepared regarding the availability of governmental assistance.

(d) Within six months of giving the conversion notice, the declarant shall notify the Commissioner of Housing of: (1) The number of tenants who purchased their dwelling units or, in the case of a mobile manufactured home park, who purchased the space or lot upon which their dwelling units sit; (2) the number of tenants who stayed in their dwelling units and did not purchase; (3) the number of tenants who moved; (4) the number of moving tenants who received a relocation payment under section 47-287; and (5) the number of tenants against whom summary process proceedings were begun.

(e) The notification to the Commissioner of Housing pursuant to subsection (d) of this section shall be accompanied by a statement of the declarant, certified as true under penalty of false statement, that, to the best of his knowledge and belief, all tenants entitled to a relocation payment under section 47-287 received such payment. If any tenant entitled to a relocation payment did not receive it, the statement shall describe why the payment was not made.
