The plain language of § 46a-64c does not support the majority’s conclusion that the legislature intended to make acceptance of the terms of public assistance programs mandatory, even if such terms are in conflict with a landlord’s established and universally applied renting policies. The majority’s holding obliges every landlord in this state to offer its property for rent with terms that meet the requirements of section 8, other assistance programs, or any other lawful income providers. I conclude that § 46a-64c does not require this. *805Instead, the statute simply means that, if all things are equal among the prospective tenants, a landlord may not disqualify a prospective tenant simply because of that tenant’s status as a recipient of public assistance under the section 8 program.
