Connecticut Interest on deposits

Does a landlord have to pay interest on a security deposit in Connecticut?

Landlords (other than student housing owned by an educational institution) must pay interest on security deposits at no less than the annual deposit index (C.G.S. § 36a-26). It is paid on each anniversary of the tenancy, or credited to rent.
