Anderson argues that the district court incorrectly determined that section 8 housing assistance payments are not “rent;” she cites language from the Low Income Housing Act and HUD regulations that she claims support her position. As Westminster points out, however, the real question here is not whether the housing payments are characterized as “rent” in the federal laws, but whether under state law, acceptance of housing assistance payments constitutes waiver of a landlord’s right to terminate a lease for breaches that occurred prior to the acceptance of the payments. This is an issue of first impression in Minnesota.
