It should be noted that there is no express language in 42 U.S.C. § 1437f to the effect that landlord participation in section 8 programs is voluntary. The courts that have found it to be voluntary have done so mainly because 42 U.S.C. § 1437f (d) (1) (A), along with the applicable regulations, gives landlords the authority to select tenants. See Salute v. Stratford Greens Garden, Apartments, 136 F.3d 293, 296 (2d Cir. 1998); Knapp v. Eagle Property Management Corp., 54 F.3d 1272, 1280 (7th Cir. 1995).
