Olson supports the district court's reliance on this section, arguing that, because he is a residential tenant who made a "complaint" of a violation related to his lease-specifically, Central Housing's allegedly discriminatory conduct-to the Minnesota Department of Human Rights, he can defeat Central Housing's eviction action by showing that the eviction was intended as a penalty for this complaint. Whether the retaliatory-eviction defense, which is not available under section 504B.285 in a breach-of-lease action, is available under section 504B.441, is a question of first impression. The answer is clear.
