Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Connecticut

Tenant comes to house bolted by bank

My daughter and 3 girls rent a house

while attending college. Since it is

summer it is only visited once every

couple weeks to get mail. Today, the

girls found the house bolted with a

sign from the bank which apparently

means the landlord hasn't paid his

mortgage.

Do they have to pay rent since they

don't have access to the dwelling,

and how do they gain access to get

all their belongings

Re: Tenant comes to house bolted by bank

I would think that since they do not have access to the house, they do not have to pay rent. In terms of obtaining their belongings, I would contact the bank.
