956 charsEllis argues that the statutory rent-escrow action is now the only way for a tenant to assert a violation of the covenants. He therefore contends that a tenant asserting a common-law habitability defense must follow the procedures set out in section 504B.385, including providing written notice to the landlord. Ellis asserts that the rent-escrow action is a codification of our ruling in Fritz because the statute provides "a statutory remedy for tenants experiencing habitability issues with their rental housing." He further maintains that a rule that no notice is required under Fritz would render the rent-escrow statute superfluous; he contends that tenants will simply choose to stop paying rent to force landlords to bring an eviction action rather than initiate proceedings under the rent-escrow statute. We conclude that the statutory authority for a rent-escrow action does not abrogate the common-law habitability defense articulated in Fritz .
