AN ACT PROHIBITING EVICTION FOR LAPSE OF TIME OF CERTAIN TENANTS.

SB 996 prohibits landlords from evicting tenants who remain in a property past their lease term without paying rent (a "lapse of time" eviction) for properties containing five or more dwelling units. This bill directly affects tenants living in larger apartment buildings or complexes. The key provision amends Connecticut's general statutes to explicitly ban this specific type of eviction, making it illegal for landlords to use lease expiration alone as grounds for eviction without rent payment. The restriction applies only to multi-unit properties with five or more residential units.
