Condo Resident Directory Directive

C.M. from New Haven County, Connecticut writes:

Dear Mister Condo,

Is it against privacy laws in CT to print up and distribute a resident directory?

Mister Condo replies:

C.M., my gut instinct was to simply say that your association is not violating privacy laws by distributing a directory of residents but, as you may know, I am not an attorney and I wanted to be certain. So I reached out to a friend who is an attorney and here is the reply:

“No. State law requires most associations to keep records of the names and contact addresses of all unit owners, and these records must be made available to other owners. As long as the association is not distributing confidential information like a person’s bank account number, there’s nothing illegal about a resident directory.”

Hope that answers your question. All the best!
