Section 504B.441 falls within the part of chapter 504B titled "Tenant Remedies Action," see Minn. Stat. §§ 504B.395 -.471 (2018) (collectively, Tenant Remedies statutes). Based on the context of the Tenant Remedies statutes and Minn. Stat. § 504B.285, the court of appeals reasoned that "complaint" as it is used in section 504B.441 only means a complaint in a civil tenant-remedies action. See Cent. Hous. Assocs., LP , 910 N.W.2d at 486-87, 490 (analyzing the meaning of "complaint" in section 504B.441 in "the context of the statute as a whole" and concluding that "the term ... does not include a complaint presented only to a governmental agency and not the court").
