689 charsThe resolution of this issue requires us to interpret section 504B.385 governing a rent-escrow action brought by a tenant in relation to a tenant's assertion of a habitability defense to a landlord's eviction action. "The interpretation of a statute is a question of law we review de novo." Cocchiarella v. Driggs , 884 N.W.2d 621, 624 (Minn. 2016). We interpret a statute's text according to its plain language if its meaning is unambiguous. Brua v. Minn. Joint Underwriting Ass'n , 778 N.W.2d 294, 300 (Minn. 2010). Additionally, "[w]hen the material facts are not in dispute, we review the lower court's application of the law de novo." In re Collier , 726 N.W.2d 799, 803 (Minn. 2007).
