Hartford treats stays of 30 days or longer as extended residential tenancies subject to Connecticut Landlord-Tenant Act protections rather than the short-term rental Chapter 17 framework.
Stays of 30 days or longer in Hartford generally fall outside Chapter 17 short-term rental regulation and instead trigger Connecticut Landlord-Tenant Act obligations under CT General Statutes Title 47a (CT §47a-1 et seq.). Once a guest crosses the 30-day threshold, they may acquire tenant status with eviction protections, security deposit rules, and habitability rights. Hartford operators offering extended home-shares should distinguish carefully between transient lodging and tenancy creation. Misclassifying a long-stay tenant as a transient guest can expose hosts to summary process eviction requirements under Connecticut law.
Treating a 30-plus-day occupant as a transient guest, locking them out, or seizing belongings without judicial process violates Connecticut Landlord-Tenant Act and can result in damages, attorney fees, and entry-without-process penalties.
