AN ACT CONCERNING THE AWARD OF REASONABLE ATTORNEY'S FEES BY THE COURT IN ENTRY AND DETAINER CASES.

Summary

The bill changes Connecticut law so that judges can order defendants in forcible entry or detainer cases to pay the plaintiff’s attorney fees and, in some cases, double damages. It applies to landlords, homeowners, or other possessors who are forced out of or have their property damaged. The change aims to make it easier for property owners to recover costs when defending against illegal possession.
