pursuant to the provisions of sections 47a-14a to 47a-14g, inclusive, and sections 47a-56 to 47a-56i, inclusive, shall be met by the rents collected by the receiver, the municipality in which the property is located or, with court approval, from a fund to be known as
the Housing Receivership Revolving Fund, which shall be maintained by the Commissioner of Economic and Community Development. The court may also approve resort
to such fund to meet expenses incurred by a receiver of rents for residential premises
pursuant to the provisions of section 16-262f or 47a-14h or chapter 735a or pursuant to
any other action involving the making of repairs to residential rental property under
court supervision. A court may authorize resort to such fund if (1) sufficient sources of
money are not otherwise immediately available, (2) the property which is the subject
of the receivership is a building which contains not more than twenty dwelling units or
is a mobile manufactured home park or a space or lot in such park and (3) the anticipated
average expense from the fund per dwelling unit or per space or lot in such park is not
in excess of five thousand dollars.
(b) The receiver shall repay the amounts so expended to such fund from the proceeds
of any amounts recovered pursuant to the provisions of said sections.
(c) The owner of the property shall be liable for repayment to the fund of all amounts
expended from the fund upon or in connection with such property and to the municipality
for all amounts expended by it upon or in connection with such property. Any such
funds expended from the fund shall be secured by a lien on such property for the benefit
of the state, which shall have priority over all mortgages or other liens on such property.
Any such funds expended by the municipality shall be secured by a lien on such property
which shall have the same priority as a lien for municipal taxes.
