AN ACT CONCERNING UTILITY CHARGES FOR RESIDENTIAL DWELLING UNITS.
SB 1383 prohibits landlords from charging tenants for utilities if a residential unit lacks an individual meter for those utilities. It directly affects tenants in multi-unit housing (like apartments) without separate utility meters, preventing landlords from including such charges in rental agreements. The key provision makes any requirement for tenants to pay for utilities without a dedicated meter unenforceable under state law. The bill takes effect July 1, 2025, ensuring tenants are only charged for utilities when their unit has a separate meter.
