In March 2017, Ellis filed an eviction action under Minnesota Statutes section 504B.291 (2018), alleging nonpayment of $3,581 in rent. The tenant acknowledged that he had withheld rent for the month of March and deposited the unpaid rent for the months of March and April 2017 with the court administrator. On March 20, 2017, the tenant filed an answer denying Ellis's allegations and raising the common-law defense of breach of the statutory covenants of habitability. See Minn. Stat. § 504B.161, subds. 1, 4 (2018).
