Any provision of a lease or rental agreement whereby a lessee or tenant waives the benefits of sections 47a-36 to 47a-40, inclusive, or any provision of any lease or rental agreement which limits the rights of any lessee or tenant under the provisions of said sections, is against public policy and void.
(1949 Rev., S. 8290; P.A. 79-571, S. 67.)
History: Sec. 52-548 transferred to Sec. 47a-41 in 1977; P.A. 79-571 added references to rental agreements and substituted “is” for “shall be deemed to”.
