There is no material fact in dispute. Whether the defendant is subject to CUTPA is a question of law, *365not fact. See Cahill v. Board of Education, 198 Conn. 229, 238, 502 A.2d 410 (1985). By virtue of General Statutes § 42-110c, a municipal housing authority is exempted from liability under CUTPA when it leases subsidized rental units to low income tenants. We hold that, as a matter of law, the failure of the defendant to provide adequate and stable heat and hot water to tenants does not give rise to a claim for damages against it under CUTPA. Accordingly, the trial court did not err in granting summary judgment in favor of the defendant. There is no error. In this opinion the other justices concurred.
