During the COVID-19 pandemic Connecticut Governor's executive orders and CDC federal moratoria paused most Hartford summary process evictions, with state programs continuing rental assistance after moratoria expired.
From March 2020 through mid-2021, Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont's executive orders and the federal CDC moratorium paused most Hartford summary process evictions for nonpayment of rent. The state UniteCT program distributed federal Emergency Rental Assistance Program funds to Hartford tenants and landlords, with mediation through Connecticut Fair Housing Center. Connecticut's Right to Counsel program (CT §47a-26h) launched in 2021 to provide legal representation for low-income tenants in summary process actions. While moratoria have ended, Right to Counsel and rental assistance frameworks established during the pandemic remain partially operational.
Filing summary process actions during active moratorium periods or refusing to participate in good-faith UniteCT mediation could result in case dismissal, sanctions, and continued tenant occupancy under prior pandemic-era rules.
