Sec.17a-218-5. Leasing capacity  


Latest version.
  • If placement in a subsidized community residence requires the execution of a lease, the following issues must be addressed:

    (a) The regional director must make an initial assessment of the client's capacity to execute a lease. If the regional director determines that the client has the capacity to execute a lease, the client may execute the lease on his own behalf.

    (b) If the regional director makes an initial determination that the client lacks capacity to execute a lease, or a guardian or conservator has been appointed, arrangements must be made for the lease to be executed by a guardian or a conservator, or by another party who is not an employee of the department or the State of Connecticut.
