I would conclude that there is not a violation of § 46a-64c every time a landlord declines to accept a lease dictated to the landlord by the tenant’s income source, whether the source is a public assistance program, a spendthrift trust or some other benefactor of the tenant. If the legislature wished to impose on all landlords of this state a requirement that they accept all the lease terms required by a tenant’s source of income, it simply could have said so. It did not. The legislature’s addition of the language “lawful source of income” was not intended to turn every property in this state into a government regulated and “lease controlled” rental facility.
