FAQs
Real property refers to land and anything permanently attached to it — buildings, fixtures, and appurtenances. Personal property covers movable items that are not affixed to the land, such as furniture or vehicles.
Connecticut deeds generally require notarization and witness signatures to be eligible for recording with the town clerk. Recording is what gives public notice of the ownership transfer.
A conveyance tax is a state and municipal transfer tax assessed when real property is sold or transferred in Connecticut. It is typically calculated as a percentage of the sale price and paid at closing.
A freehold interest, such as fee simple or a life estate, represents ownership of the property. A leasehold is a possessory right to use the premises for a defined term under a lease agreement, without ownership of the underlying land.
A landlord may withhold a security deposit only to cover unpaid rent or documented damage beyond normal wear and tear. Connecticut law sets rules on the amount that can be collected and the timeframe for returning the deposit after a tenancy ends.
