Before turning to section 504B.441, it is helpful to review the retaliation defenses codified by the Legislature. Section 504B.285, subdivision 2, makes a retaliation defense available "following the alleged termination of a tenancy by notice to quit " if the tenant, in good faith, has sought to secure or enforce the tenant's rights or if the tenant has made a good faith report to a government authority.2 (Emphasis added). The court of appeals held that this defense was not available to Olson because CHA did not seek to evict him by notice to quit. Cent. Hous. Assocs. , 910 N.W.2d at 488-89. Olson did not appeal that determination, so it is not before us.
