1997 Minnesota Statutes

     566.28 Eviction proceedings by owner limited. 

    A tenant may not be evicted, nor may the tenant's 
 obligations under a rental agreement be increased nor the 
 services decreased, if the eviction or increase of obligations 
 or decrease of services is intended as a penalty for the 
 tenant's or neighborhood organization's complaint of a violation.
 The burden of proving otherwise shall be on the owner if said 
 eviction or increase of obligations or decrease of services 
 occurs within 90 days after the filing of the complaint, unless 
 it is found that the complaint was not made in good faith.  
 After 90 days the burden of proof shall be on the tenant.
