Municipal fair-rent commission is adopted

Sheltonhigh confidence

Verified on 2026-08-25.

Shelton appears in the Connecticut Department of Housing's current ordinance directory as having adopted a fair-rent commission. The commission may investigate tenant complaints and order relief under the local ordinance and state enabling law; this is not a numeric rent cap.

Confirm the current local filing rules and the particular tenancy. Commission authority is complaint-based and does not make every proposed increase unlawful.
