Rentals of 30 consecutive days or more fall outside Bridgeport's Chapter 14 STR ordinance and are governed instead by Connecticut Landlord-Tenant Law (CT §47a-1 et seq.), with notice, eviction, and habitability obligations.
Once a stay crosses roughly the 30-day mark, Connecticut treats the occupant as a tenant rather than a transient guest. Hosts who routinely accept month-plus bookings cannot rely on STR rules to remove a guest; they must follow CT §47a notice-to-quit procedures, summary process eviction in housing court, and full habitability standards. The lodging tax design also shifts. Operators advertising long-stay packages should screen carefully and use written agreements that comply with state landlord-tenant disclosures.
Self-help removal of a 30-day-plus occupant exposes the owner to CT lockout damages, rather than STR-style ejection remedies.
