The Connecticut State Police and the Connecticut Police Chiefs Association both have community notification guidelines that list these entities as contacts in appropriate cases. The law also applies to temporary address changes of 10 days or more and to offenders who work or go to school in Connecticut but live elsewhere. Landlords cannot automatically evict tenants for being sex offenders. But they can evict any person for misconduct specified in Connecticut's housing statutes. We found no cases in Connecticut or other jurisdictions where landlords used nuisance laws to evict sex offenders, but depending on the circumstances, a tenant's sexually offending conduct might constitute a nuisance and thus be grounds for eviction.
Registration is also mandatory for people convicted of similar offenses in other jurisdictions.
And judges can order other felons to register if they find that a purpose of their criminal act was to have sexual contact or intercourse without the victim's consent. People acquitted by reason of insanity of any of the offenses listed above and those convicted of conspiring or attempting to commit or soliciting, requesting, directing, or assisting someone else to commit one of these crimes must also register. Duration of Registration Registration lasts for 10 years after release into the community for non-violent sex offenses, most crimes against minors, and felonies committed for a sexual purpose. Sexually violent offenders, repeat offenders, and those convicted of having sexual intercourse with a child under age 13 must register for life. The court may exempt some offenders if it finds their registration is not required for public safety.
