Interpreting "complaint" to be limited to the formal court pleading of that name would also allow a landlord to retaliate against a tenant for taking the steps necessary to bring a rent-escrow action under section 504B.385, which, as discussed, does not even require a formal court pleading called a complaint. Such a consequence would contravene the plain meaning of the statute, which expressly provides that section 504B.441 applies to section 504B.385 proceedings. Minn. Stat. § 504B.385, subd. 11.
