This court has repeatedly held that the remedies applied by the supreme court to enforce the covenants of habitability "do not appear to extend liability of a landlord to money damages for injuries received by a tenant as a result of an unknown defect in the rented premises." Meyer v. Parkin , 350 N.W.2d 435, 438 (Minn. App. 1984), review denied (Minn. Sept. 12, 1984); see Rush , 887 N.W.2d at 708 (holding intended use of covenants of habitability is not to impose strict liability upon landlord or expand landlord's liability beyond that articulated in caselaw); see also Broughton v. Maes , 378 N.W.2d 134, 136 n.1 (Minn. App. 1985) (stating supreme court held enactment of covenants of habitability did not alter landlord's tort liability), review denied (Minn. Feb. 14, 1986).
