Minn.Stat. §§ 56|3.25(b) (district court may order tenant to repair property and deduct cost from rent); 566.25(d) (district court may abate rent); 566.27 (owner’s right to rent is suspended if, after tenant’s complaint is proved, district court appoints administrator for property). The provision under which the district court granted relief sets out a procedure for a tenant to deposit rent in escrow with the court. Minn.Stat. § 566.34, subd. 2. Here, however, tenant did neither; in 1994 he stopped paying rent to landlord and put the money in the bank. Thus, neither Minn.Stat. §§ 566.18-.33 nor Minn.Stat. § 566.34 precisely fits this case. The district court’s release to landlord of the funds held by the court, however, is affirmable under either analysis.
