Cloverdale first argues that a commercial tenant should not be allowed to assert a retaliatory eviction defense under Minn.Stat. § 566.03, subd. 2. Cloverdale argues that allowing a commercial tenant to assert the defense is inconsistent with the policy underlying the defense. See Parkin v. Fitzgerald, 307 Minn. 423, 427, 240 N.W.2d 828, 831 (1976) (purpose of retaliatory eviction defense is to provide "the tenant with substantial weapons in his day-to-day struggle for decent-quality housing").
