Lead-Free Rentals: A Win-Win for Landlords and Tenants in Connecticut
By Bob DeCosmo
CTPOA at a Crossroad
It seems that Connecticut landlords are doing their very best to imitate an Ostrich with its head buried in the sand. I understand that politics has turned most Americans off as it’s become the struggle for the adjudication of power and not creating good policy. However, landlords in CT are under attack and they don’t seem to care much about it.
Out-maneuvered, out-lobbied, out-spent and out-organized, landlords can’t complete with the advocates claiming to represent tenants at the Legislature. In realty, most of these tenant advocates are advocates for political change from capitalism to socialism and are masters at using tax-payer funding to advance the political agenda.
Looking at the housing laws that passed recently in CT you can see the direction we are heading. Laws that passed included free lawyers to tenants being evicted, concealing criminal records, mandating fair rent commissions, limiting late fees on rent and removing eviction records on cases dismissed or withdrawn leading a wave of mediators pushing landlords to withdraw their evictions after the tenants move out per their court agreement and thus, no record of that eviction.
In January, the Legislature goes into what is known as the “Long Session” where individual legislators can submit Bills for consideration. There surely will be a wave of legislation proposed to further impact rental property and the bulk of it will be harmful to individual landlords and private property rights.
As mentioned previously, the tenant advocates really don’t represent tenants but seek economic change. Landlords need to engage their tenants to take action to stop harmful legislation because the fact is a good tenant doesn’t want to live next to an unruly tenant. Non-paying tenants force higher rents on those that live in properties were evictions occur. Parents don’t want their children around sexual predators yet landlords will be forced to allow such individuals into their properties if some of the more liberal polices pass.
Next January will be epic as the past few years we have been dealing with the heart of the socialist housing agenda in Connecticut. That is Rent Control, eliminating Lapse of Time Evictions and concealing criminal and eviction records.
I expect all of these proposals to surface again in the Housing Committee in January and landlords and their good tenants better be prepared to fight for their economic survival.
Sadly, after 28 years of advocating for landlords and property rights, CTPOA may not be back next year as the lack of support has become critical. Unlike the tenant advocates, we can not receive tax-payer funded grants and rely solely on individual contributions. If we can not get more members involved, we’ll be forced to make a very difficult decision.

86% of agents believe the commission structure changes, which took effect last month following a lawsuit against the National Association of Realtors (NAR), will lead to agents leaving the industry, according to new research from Clever Real Estate, a St. Louis-based real estate company.
The settlement most notably determined that sellers are no longer obligated to pay for the buyer's agent's commission, shifting the responsibility to buyers to determine how to compensate their own agent.
Nearly half of agents surveyed (48%) report a more pessimistic outlook on their career since the settlement was approved, while only 16% feel more optimistic.
Nearly two-thirds of real estate agents (64%) still oppose the recent changes to the commission structure, down slightly from earlier this year (70%). Agents used the word "confused" to describe their feelings about the settlement more than any other term.
Nearly three-quarters of agents (72%) predict a negative overall impact on the industry, while only 20% expect a positive outcome.
Despite a 12-point drop since April, 76% of agents still think the changes will negatively impact first-time home buyers. In contrast, 53% of overall buyers surveyed support the settlement.
Additionally, two-thirds of agents (66%) believe buyers will be more hesitant to use an agent, but only 22% of homeowners and potential buyers say they'll be less likely to do so.
Meanwhile, 67% of homeowners support the changes, though only 26% admit to having a strong understanding of the lawsuit and resulting settlement.
The vast majority of homeowners (79%) and buyers (71%) believe real estate agents should be required to disclose their commission rates upfront. In addition, more than half of homeowners (57%) and buyers (59%) support government regulations of commission rates.
Among homeowners planning to sell in the next year, 63% are more likely to do so now, given the reduced obligation to pay the buyer's agent commission.
In response to these pivotal industry shifts, 83% of agents plan to experiment with new business strategies, with 35% saying they'll avoid working with sellers who do not provide concessions to help buyers cover agent fees.

For those of us managing rental properties in Connecticut, the threat of water damage is ever -present. From burst pipes to overflowing appliances, leaks to heavy rains, these events can wreak havoc on our properties and put a strain on our budgets. Navigating the complexities of insurance claims in such situations can be equally daunting. This comprehensive guide aims to equip you with the knowledge and resources to handle water claims efficiently and effectively while minimizing financial losses.
Understanding Your Policy:
• Review your insurance policy meticulously: Familiarize yourself with the specific types of water damage covered and any exclusions that might apply. Look for clauses related to frozen pipes, sewer
backups, appliance failures, and weatherrelated events.
• Know your deductibles and limits: Be aware of the amount you'll be responsible for before the insurance company kicks in.
• Check coverage for temporary housing: Some policies cover temporary housing for tenants displaced by water damage, while others offer additional living expenses coverage.
• Document everything: Maintain proper records of your property, including maintenance logs, receipts for repairs, and photographs of the damage before and after mitigation efforts. This documentation will be crucial for your claim.
• Act fast to mitigate damage: The quicker you address the source of the leak and prevent further damage, the lower the repair costs and the higher your chances of a smooth claim process.
• Notify your insurance company immediately: Don't delay! Promptly inform your insurer about the damage and follow their instructions to the letter. They may advise specific steps for mitigating the damage and filing the claim.
• Contact a qualified plumber or restoration company: Choose a licensed and insured professional to handle the repairs. Be wary of fly-by-night operators who might overcharge or do shoddy work.
• Keep the lines of communication open: Maintain regular communication with your tenants,insurance adjuster, and repair technicians. Keep everyone informed of the progress and any changes in the situation.
Claim Tips and Tricks:
• Gatherdetailedevidence: Take photographs and videos of the damage from various angles,including close-ups of the source of the leak, affected areas, and any temporary repairs undertaken.
• Documentrepairestimates: Obtain several estimates from qualified contractors to support the cost of repairs.
• Review the adjuster's report carefully: Make sure the report accurately reflects the extent of the damage and the proposed repairs. If you have any discrepancies, raise them with the adjuster promptly.
• Negotiate your claim: Don't be afraid to negotiate the settlement amount if you feel it's unfair.Provide your documentation and rationale to support your position.
• Hire A Private Insurance Adjuster: Private Adjusters represent your interests and not the insurance company. They often can provide larger settlements for the claim.
Prevention is Key:
• Regularly maintain plumbing and appliances: Schedule preventative maintenance checks for pipes,appliances, and water heaters to minimize the risk of leaks and failures.
• Educateyourtenants: Inform your tenants about how to prevent water damage, such as properly turning off appliances, reporting leaks promptly, and knowing how to shut off the main water valve.
• Consider additional coverage: Depending on your location and risk assessment, consider additional coverage for sewer backups, flood damage, or other specific waterrelated perils.
Additional Resources:
• Connecticut Insurance Department: https://portal.ct.gov/cid
• National Flood Insurance Program: https://www.floodsmart.gov/
• International Association of Certified Home Inspectors: https:// www.nachi.org/
By understanding your insurance coverage, acting promptly, documenting your actions, and taking preventative
measures, you can navigate water claims with confidence and protect your investment in your Connecticut rental properties. Remember, knowledge is power, and being prepared can significantly impact your financial wellbeing and ensure a smooth recovery from water-related mishaps.
Happy renting, and may your pipes always flow smoothly!

As a landlord in Connecticut, you're constantly looking for ways to improve your properties and attract quality tenants. Did you know that offering lead-free rentals can be a major advantage? Here's why participating in the Lead Free CT program might be the perfect solution for you:
Peace of Mind and Legal Protection:
• Lead Poisoning Prevention: Lead exposure can have devastating consequences for children, especially those under six. By removing lead hazards from your rental units, you're protecting your tenants' health and well-being.
Financial Benefits:
• Legal Compliance: Connecticut law requires landlords to disclose lead hazards in pre-1978 buildings and if a child tests positive for lead poisoning, abate the lead hazzard. The Lead Free CT program helps you stay ahead of potential legal issues.
• Free Lead Removal: The program covers the cost of lead abatement (removal) in qualifying pre-1978 buildings where children under six or pregnant women reside. This translates to significant savings for you.
• Increased Property Value: Lead-free certification can enhance the value of your property, making it more attractive to potential tenants.
• Reduced Maintenance Costs: Lead abatement addresses underlying issues that may cause future maintenance problems, saving you money in the long run.
• Tenant Retention: Tenants appreciate safe and healthy living environments. Leadfree certification shows them you care about their well-being, leading to higher tenant satisfaction and potentially longer tenancy rates.
• Streamlined Process: The Lead Free CT program offers a user-friendly application process with support and guidance throughout the program.
Considering the Program? Here are some FAQs:
• Who is eligible? You are eligible if you own a pre-1978 building where children under six or pregnant women reside.
• Are there income requirements? No, there are no income requirements for landlords to participate in the program.
• What is the process? A simple preapplication process gets you started. Once approved, the program will guide you through lead testing, abatement (if necessary), and relocation assistance for tenants (if required).
• How long does it take? The overall process typically takes 4-6 months from application to completion, with the actual abatement work averaging 12-14 days.
Investing in lead-free rentals is a smart decision for responsible landlords in Connecticut. It protects your tenants, ensures compliance with regulations, and offers long-term financial benefits. Visit Lead Free CT's website (https://leadfreect.org/free -lead-removal/landlords/) or call 860-5097938 to learn more and get started today. Create a safe and healthy environment for your tenants, and enjoy the peace of mind and financial advantages that come with lead -free rentals.

As the leaves change color and temperatures drop, it's time for Connecticut landlords to prepare their rental properties for the upcoming winter. By taking proactive steps to winterize your rental units, you can prevent costly repairs, ensure tenant comfort, and protect the value of your investment.
Here's a comprehensive fall maintenance checklist for Connecticut landlords:
Exterior Maintenance:
• Roof Inspection: A thorough roof inspection is crucial to identify any damage, leaks, or missing shingles. Consider hiring a professional roofer to assess the condition of your roof and provide recommendations for repairs or replacements. Pay close attention to areas around chimneys, vents, and skylights, as these are common points of entry for leaks.
• Gutter Cleaning: Clogged gutters can lead to water damage, ice dams, and foundation issues. Remove leaves, debris, and any signs of corrosion to ensure your gutters are functioning properly. If you have a two-story building, consider using a gutter cleaning system or hiring a professional to safely clean your gutters.
• Chimney Inspection: If your rental property has a fireplace or wood-burning stove, it's essential to have your chimney inspected by a certified chimney sweep. A clean chimney will help prevent fires, carbon monoxide buildup, and creosote deposits.
• Insulation Check: Adequate insulation is vital for energy efficiency and tenant comfort. Inspect the insulation in your rental units' attics, walls, and crawl spaces to ensure it's in good
condition and sufficient for the Connecticut climate. If necessary, add more insulation or replace damaged insulation to improve energy efficiency and reduce heating costs.
• Weatherstripping and Caulking: Seal any gaps around windows, doors, and other openings to prevent drafts and energy loss. Replace worn or damaged weatherstripping and caulk, and consider using energy-efficient weatherstripping and caulk options.
Interior Maintenance:
• Heating System Inspection and Cleaning: Schedule a professional inspection and cleaning of your heating system to ensure it's operating efficiently and safely. A wellmaintained heating system will provide reliable heat throughout the winter and help prevent breakdowns.
• Plumbing Inspection: Check for any signs of leaks, drips, or slow-draining drains. Insulate exposed pipes to prevent freezing and burst pipes during cold weather. If you notice any plumbing issues, address them promptly to avoid more significant problems and costly repairs.
• Carbon Monoxide Detector Check: Test and replace batteries in carbon monoxide detectors to ensure they are functioning properly. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that can be deadly, so it's crucial to have working detectors in your rental units.
• Fireplace Safety: If your rental property has a fireplace, clean it thoroughly to remove creosote buildup and ensure the damper is
working properly. Have the chimney inspected to identify any potential safety hazards.
• Window Treatments: Consider installing heavy curtains or blinds to help insulate your rental units and reduce heat loss. This can also improve tenant comfort and energy efficiency.
Additional Tips:
• Tenant Communication: Inform your tenants about your winterization efforts and encourage them to report any issues promptly. This will help address problems quickly and prevent further damage.
• Emergency Preparedness: Develop a plan for handling winter emergencies, such as power outages or snowstorms. Provide your tenants with contact information for local emergency services and a list of essential supplies to keep on hand.
• Seasonal Landscaping: Prepare your landscaping for winter by trimming trees and shrubs, removing any dead or damaged plants, and protecting sensitive plants from harsh weather conditions.
• Pest Control: Be aware of potential winter pests, such as mice and rats, and take preventive measures to keep them out of your rental units.
By following this comprehensive fall maintenance checklist, you can help ensure that your rental properties are well-prepared for the winter season. This will not only protect your investment but also provide your tenants with a comfortable and safe living environment.

A recent Connecticut Supreme Court ruling has significantly impacted the short-term rental market in the state. In the case of Branford Homeowner vs. Zoning Board, the court ruled that a "residence" can include short-term rentals and does not require a degree of permanency. This decision has implications for property owners across Connecticut, providing them with greater flexibility in renting out their homes.
The Branford Homeowner vs. Zoning Board case centered on a homeowner's right to rent out their property as a short-term rental. The homeowner, Frances Wihbey, argued that their property qualified as a "residence" under local zoning regulations, allowing for short-term rentals. The zoning board disagreed, claiming that a residence required a degree of permanency.
The Connecticut Supreme Court sided with Wihbey, establishing a broader definition of "residence" that encompasses short-term rentals. The ruling clarified that zoning regulations cannot arbitrarily restrict shortterm rentals without a clear and reasonable basis.
The Branford Homeowner vs. Zoning Board case offers a degree of legal certainty for short-term rental owners in Connecticut. However, it is important to note that:
• Local Regulations Still Apply: While
• the state Supreme Court has provided guidance, local zoning regulations continue to play a significant role in determining the legality of short-term rentals.
• Ongoing Legal Developments: The landscape of short-term rental regulations is evolving, and future legal developments may impact the rights of property owners.
We’re excited to announce, Frances Wihbey, as well as David Haberfield, another well-known Connecticut shortterm real estate investor, will be joining us for a webinar on October 22nd, at 7pm to discuss this case and more. You can sign up here: ctpoa.com/events. FREE for CTPOA members.
There are resources available to help you navigate the world of short-term rentals in Connecticut and protect your rights as a property owner:
• The Connecticut Property Owners Alliance (CTPOA): This organization provides resources and support to property owners, including information on short-term rental regulations and advocacy efforts. Joining CTPOA can
connect you with a network of professionals and keep you informed of any changes in the legal landscape. (https://ctpoa.com/our-mission/)
• PODL.NET PAC: While not directly related to short-term rentals, the Property Owners Defense League Network Political Action Committee (PODL.NET PAC) works to advocate for the rights of property owners in Connecticut by supporting / opposing legislators running for office. Considering a donation to this PAC can be a way to support broader efforts to protect your property rights.
The Connecticut Supreme Court's ruling in Branford Homeowner vs. Zoning Board represents a significant victory for shortterm rental owners. While challenges remain, the decision provides a valuable legal framework and empowers owners to navigate the market. By staying informed about local regulations, utilizing resources, and considering advocacy options, shortterm rental owners can continue to operate successfully in Connecticut.

In a disturbing revelation, a recent investigation has uncovered significant flaws in some of the most widely used tenant screening services. Zillow, RentSpree, and SoftScreen have been found to be missing crucial data that could put rental property owners at risk.
One of the most concerning issues is the limited timeframe for criminal history checks. Zillow, a well-known and seemingly convenient screening tool, only reports criminal records within the last 7 years no matter what state you’re running the report in. This means that tenants with serious criminal histories, like arson, rape, or weapons related-charges may pose a threat to your property, the residents that live in your buildings and dangerous people could easily slip through the cracks.
As of September 2024, Zillow’s website states, “To align with Federal guidelines, criminal and
housing court record background checks do not include: Records older than 7 years, arrests records, non-conviction records, dismissed records, non-judgments older than 1 year and vacated/appealed housing court cases, or judgements in favor of the defendant.”
While this might coincide with “federal guidelines” for employment background screening, it does not apply to rental housing, where there is no federal statute of limitations on reporting criminal convictions. TenantTracks prefers to provide landlords, property managers and REALTORS the full historic picture of tenants’ backgrounds and does not hide or conceal criminal data after any amount of time unless dictated by State policy. You can read the full disclaimer HERE.
Another significant oversight is the failure to include eviction records in many screening
reports. Alarmingly, in Connecticut as of February 2024, both RentSpree and SoftScreen fail to include Connecticut eviction data in their background checks. Eviction data, as you can imagine, is one of the most important pieces of a tenant background check, and we’d argue their reports shouldn’t even be considered “complete” without this data. Landlords relying on these incomplete services could unknowingly rent to tenants with a history of causing problems, not paying rent and damaging properties. You can read the full disclaimer HERE.
• Property Damage: Tenants with a history of property damage could cause significant financial losses to landlords.
• Legal Issues: Non-paying tenants cause legal problems for landlords, including costly eviction proceedings and could make good tenants move it as some states have prolonged eviction processes.
• Tenant Safety: Incomplete screening can put other tenants at risk if a dangerous or disruptive individual is allowed to move in.
To protect your rental property and ensure the safety of your tenants, it is essential to use a comprehensive tenant screening service. TenantTracks offers a superior solution that includes:
• Extensive Criminal History: TenantTracks dives deeper into criminal records than most
screening companies, providing information beyond the standard 7-year timeframe.
• Complete Eviction Records: Our reports include eviction records from all states that allow for such information to be used for screening including Connecticut which is not available on RentSpree or SoftScreen, ensuring you have a complete picture of a tenant's rental history.
• Alias Name Eviction Matches: We also match up Alias Names to records other companies will miss such as a divorce case. We provide this additional protection in RI, CT, MA, NH and VT, covering most of New England.
• Financial Verification: We offer options for verifying a tenant's income and credit history, helping to assess their financial stability.
Use TenantTracks for screening rental applicants and if you are currently using Zillow, RentSpree, or SoftScreen, it's time to switch to a more reliable service. TenantTracks offers a comprehensive and affordable solution that can help you protect your rental property and avoid costly mistakes.
TenantTracks is the best choice for landlords seeking an easy to use format providing comprehensive and affordable tenant screening solutions. Our reports provide the most accurate and up-to-date information available. By choosing TenantTracks, you can rest assured that you are making informed leasing decisions about your future tenants and protecting your rental property.
