student rentals in Connecticut

[Jason A.]

Dear all – I am considering making an offering on a property in proximity to a well-known university in CT. What I need and have not yet been able to find are specifics with respect to state and local laws.

• With the intention of renting to students, what should I consider in advance – specific to CT and local requirements?
• Who can I contact within the local municipality to discuss any approvals that may be required specific to university housing.
• For anyone renting in CT, have you faced any requirements, implicit or explicit, specific to student housing?
• I appreciate anything university specific I’ll need to obtain via Residential Life etc. and I am working on that.

Much appreciated

Jason,

Check with the local zoning department, they can give you all the info you need. as far as government is concerned, it's no more then 4 unrelated people in a dwelling ( so SFH=4, 2 FAMILY=8, Etc.), but i have heard of towns only allowing 3, so make sure you check with the town.
