The first question is whether Olson is entitled to rely on the retaliation defense set out in Minn. Stat. § 504B.441. Central Housing Associates, LP (CHA) served Olson with written notice of lease termination *411on January 20, 2017. The only conduct of Olson's prior to the January 20 date that any party has attempted to argue constitutes a "complaint of a violation" was Olson's statements to CHA regarding maintenance and the alleged harassment of his daughter by a maintenance worker. The question we must decide in order to determine whether the section 504B.441 defense is available to Olson is whether Olson's pre-January 20, 2017 statements constitute a "complaint of a violation."
