Minn.Stat. § 566.03, subd. 2, refers to the defendant in an unlawful detainer action and makes no distinction between residential and commercial tenants. Because Minn.Stat. § 566.03, subd. 1, applies to commercial leases and Minn.Stat. § 566.03, subd. 2, does not distinguish between commercial and residential tenants, we conclude that a commercial *51 tenant can assert a retaliatory eviction defense under Minn.Stat. § 566.03, subd. 2. Cf. 614 Co., 297 Minn. at 397-98, 211 N.W.2d at 894 (after noting policy concerns implicit in the right of redemption, the court concluded that right of redemption applied to commercial leases because statute made no distinction between commercial and residential leases).
