Ellis now asks us to reverse, asserting that the tenant did not follow the procedures for a rent-escrow action under Minnesota Statutes section 504B.385 (2018), which require written notice to the landlord before initiating an action for breach of the covenants of habitability. We conclude that a tenant asserting a common-law habitability defense in an eviction proceeding is not required to follow the procedures for an action under the rent-escrow statute. Accordingly, we affirm the decision of the court of appeals. FACTS
