The Renters Money Bill
Connecticut could give renters money back for paying rent
An Act Establishing A Refundable Credit Against The Personal Income Tax For A Portion Of Annual Rent Payments Made By A Taxpayer For A Primary Residence In The State.
Good for everyday people ·
This bill would give people money back on their taxes for some of the rent they pay, helping them afford housing.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
This bill would help people who rent their homes save money. Rent in Connecticut can be very expensive, so getting some money back from the state would make it easier for families to pay their bills. This bill is still moving through the state government, so people can still let their lawmakers know if they think this is a good idea to help everyday people.
