On March 2,1994, the defendant placed an advertisement in the Connecticut Post stating: “BRIDGEPORT Lindley St. 3 BR HOUSE New Paint & Carpets. $750/ Mo. 366-2564.” That same day, Patricia Hanson, a single parent of two minor children, called the defendant to inquire about the advertised rental property. After Hanson informed the defendant that her income was derived from rent subsidies under section 8 of the housing assistance program of the National Housing Act of 1974 (section 8); 42 U.S.C. § 1437f; and the federal Aid to Families with Dependent Children program; 42 U.S.C. § 601 et seq.; she was told that the defendant did not qualify to rent to tenants with section 8 subsidies because the defendant required two months security, and the section 8 program, as the defendant understood it, would not allow such security.
