Renters’ Rebate Program
Connecticut provides a reimbursement program for renters who are elderly or totally disabled,
and whose incomes do not exceed certain limits. Persons renting an apartment or room, or living
in cooperative housing or a mobile home may be eligible for this program. Renters’ rebates can be up to $900 for married couples and $700 for single persons. The renters’ rebate amount is based
on a graduated income scale and the amount of rent and utility payments (excluding telephone) made in the calendar year prior to the year in which the renter applies. An application may be completed with your town social service agency, or the Assessor’s Office, depending on the town, between April 1st and October 1st.
