Universal Citation: CT Reg of State Agencies 17b-802-10

Current through March 14, 2024

(a) A person shall be eligible for a second or subsequent security deposit guarantee if, at the time of re-application, the person meets the criteria for eligibility as set forth in section 17b-802-2 of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies.

(b) A person shall be eligible for a subsequent security deposit guarantee only once within an eighteen calendar month period, except for the circumstance identified in subsection (c) of this section.

(c) A person who applies for a second or subsequent security deposit guarantee within eighteen calendar months of the date of completion of an application for a previous security deposit guarantee or security deposit grant that was approved shall obtain authorization from the commissioner for a second or subsequent security deposit guarantee. For a person who applies for a second or subsequent security deposit guarantee within eighteen calendar months of the date of any payment to a landlord for damages claimed to have been caused by the person, the amount of the second or subsequent security deposit guarantee shall be reduced by:

(1) The amount of any previous security deposit grant that has not been returned to the department pursuant to section 47a-21 of the Connecticut General Statutes; and

(2) The amount of any payments made under a security deposit guarantee by the department to the landlord for a tenant's failure to comply with the tenant's obligations, as such obligations are defined in subsection (a) of section 47a-21 of the Connecticut General Statutes.

(d) Any person with income exceeding one hundred fifty percent of the federal poverty level, who is eligible to receive a security deposit guarantee and for whom the department has paid a claim by a landlord, shall contribute five per cent of one month's rent to the payment of the security deposit. The commissioner may waive such payment for good cause.
