Although both CHA's and Olson's interpretations of "complaint of a violation" are reasonable, we discern yet a third reasonable interpretation not advanced by either party. This third interpretation is in the nature of a middle ground between the parties' competing interpretations. The Legislature could have intended that a "complaint of a violation" means either a tenant's complaint commencing a lawsuit or a tenant's complaint to a government entity, but not a tenant's complaint to a landlord. In other words, the phrase could refer to an expression of dissatisfaction that has an official character to it. We conclude that this third interpretation is also reasonable. B.
