Landlord/Tenant Law Supreme Court Slip Opinion

by Zigadto, Janet

 

SC20826 - PPC Realty, LLC v. Hartford ("In this appeal, we must interpret provisions of the Uniform Relocation Assistance Act (act), ยงยง 8-266 through 8-282, also known as the URRA, to determine whether a city can maintain a lien against a property to secure repayment of costs incurred when relocating residents who find themselves displaced following the city's enforcement of its building codes, even if the property owner did not cause the building to become uninhabitable. The defendant, the city of Hartford, contends that the trial court improperly discharged its lien on the property of the plaintiff, PPC Realty, LLC. Relying on the statutory text of the act, we agree with the defendant that its lien was proper, and we reverse the trial court's judgment.")
