Connecticut Attorney General William Tong secured a $5.1 million financial relief package for tenants of the Concierge Apartments in Rocky Hill following an investigation into unsafe living conditions and landlord mismanagement. The agreement provides cash payments, free rent, and utility waivers to displaced and affected tenants, with a second agreement pending to address long-term accountability and communications.
The owner, JRK Property Holdings, committed to up to $5.1 million in direct financial relief including cash payments ($500-$1,700 per unit), three months free rent for some, one-month utility waivers, and the option to break leases without penalty for displaced tenants. All current tenants can renew leases with no rent increase through year-end. A second agreement will address ongoing inspections, accountability, and improved communication protocols.
