In sum, for all the reasons discussed, we conclude that the legislature, in requiring landlords to make rental *784housing available to potential tenants relying on section 8 housing assistance, intended thereby to require landlords to use section 8 leases.30 We reach this conclusion because, under the federal law applicable at the time in question, the failure to use such a lease would have resulted in the denial of section 8 reimbursement as a matter of federal law. Any other construction of § 46a-64c would be impossible to reconcile with the legislature’s expressed purpose of affording to those protected by the statute “an equal chance in the rental housing market.” 32 H.R. Proc., supra, p. 8777.31 V INSUFFICIENT INCOME EXCEPTION
