A proposed class action was filed on July 17, 2026, against the landlords of Glen at Burnsville Apartments in Minnesota, accusing them of deceptive pricing practices, charging junk fees, and maintaining unsafe living conditions. The lawsuit, filed in Dakota County District Court, targets Priderock Capital Partners, LLC, Priderock Capital Management, LLC, PRCP-Minnesota I, LLC, and PRCP-Minnesota Stone, LLC, the entities that own and operate the property.
The complaint alleges that the defendants advertised apartments at rental rates that did not reflect the true monthly cost, omitting mandatory charges that tenants were required to pay. Some of these charges are described as "junk" fees that boosted the landlords' revenue without providing any tangible benefit to tenants. Additionally, the lawsuit claims that tenants were improperly billed for common-area utilities and that the landlords violated the implied warranty of habitability by failing to secure controlled-access buildings and adequately address pest infestations.
“No tenant should be forced to discover after signing a lease that the advertised rent was not the real price of their home,” said Alexandra M. Robinson, an attorney with Nichols Kaster, PLLP, which represents the plaintiffs. “We believe Glen at Burnsville used undisclosed, mandatory fees to make apartments appear more affordable than they actually were, while also failing to provide tenants with the safe and habitable housing they were promised. Through this case, tenants seek to recover the money they were unlawfully charged and to stop these practices going forward.”
The action is brought on behalf of tenants who signed leases at Glen at Burnsville within the past six years, along with multiple subclasses. The case, titled Miller v. Priderock Capital Partners, LLC, et al., Case No. 19WS-CV-26-808, seeks damages and injunctive relief to halt the alleged deceptive practices and address the habitability concerns.
This lawsuit highlights a growing trend of tenants challenging hidden fees and poor living conditions in rental housing. The outcome could set a precedent for how apartment complexes disclose fees and maintain properties. Additional information about the case can be found at nka.com/GlenAtBurnsville.
