We consider first the defendant’s claim of federal preemption because, if that claim were correct, it would *772make further consideration of the other statutory issues raised in connection with § 46a-64c superfluous. The defendant maintains that, if § 46a-64c requires landlords to accept tenants whose income includes section 8 assistance, then its provisions are preempted by the federal section 8 statute itself; 42 U.S.C. § 1437f; which makes participation in the program voluntary.22 The trial court concluded that nothing in the federal program prevents a state from mandating participation. We agree with the trial court.
