The judge granted summary judgment for the Attorney General and held that Brown’s practice of refusing to process rental applications from Section 8 certificate holders was a violation of G. L. c. 151B, § 4 (10). He found that Brown’s reasons were directed at the regulatory and administrative requirements of the program and, therefore, constituted discrimination against a Section 8 certificate holder “solely because the individual is such a recipient.” He also granted summary judgment for the Attorney General on the alleged violation of G. L. c. 151B, § 4 (6), stating that Brown’s practice of refusing to process applications from Section 8 certificate holders had a disproportionate impact on members of minorities.
