income tenants receiving subsidies would recover fewer damages simply because the impoverished have a greater need for rent subsidies. The result urged by the defendant and adopted by the court would have the effect of decreasing a landlord’s incentive to comply with the statute’s proscriptions when renting to substantially subsidized tenants. Because a subsidized tenant should enjoy the same right to privacy as a full paying tenant, damages awarded to a subsidized tenant for the violation of his or her privacy rights should have no correlation to the amount of rent actually paid by the tenant. This result gives a landlord an equal incentive not to violate a tenant’s privacy rights, regardless of the tenant’s economic status.
