Connecticut Eviction Right to Counsel: A Qualitative Evaluation 2023
In May 2021, the Connecticut General Assembly enacted Public Act 21-34, establishing the right to legal representation for tenants under threat of eviction and making Connecticut one of the first states to do so. Governor Ned Lamont’s signature established the Connecticut Right to Counsel Program (CTRTC) beginning in July 2021. The program provides no-cost legal representation to income-eligible tenants and occupants at risk of eviction. This report captures the experiences of tenants, rental property owners, and other stakeholders involved with CT-RTC during the first year of RTC in CT.
