Landlord rules and blight in Windham
Owning rentals here comes with rules. The town's Housing Code Enforcement Officer enforces the Housing Code in Windham and Willimantic and inspects rental units when tenants complain, and the town has a Landlord Registration Ordinance. If you are tired of keeping up with it, we buy the building with the tenants and leases as they stand.
The Anti-Blight Ordinance covers occupied or vacant property with problems like code violations, unsafe conditions, boarded windows, damaged siding or junk vehicles visible from the street, and lets the town issue citations. A vacant house can draw attention quickly.
Taxes are a steady pull. At 27.85 mills, a median house pays about $5,070 a year, about $420 a month. Windham's last revaluation took effect October 1, 2023, and the next is set for October 1, 2028.
Behind on payments or taxes
Facing foreclosure or a tax lien in Windham?
A median Windham house owes about $5,070 a year in tax at 27.85 mills. If that falls behind, Connecticut adds 1.5% a month, or 18% a year, and the town can lien the property. A rental with late tenants can fall behind on its tax bill faster than you expect.
On the mortgage, Connecticut mostly uses strict foreclosure, where the Superior Court sets a Law Day and the lender takes title after it. A Windham sale before then keeps your equity. We pay the loan and the back taxes at closing.
