A class action lawsuit filed on July 17, 2026, in Dakota County, Minnesota, accuses the landlords of Glen at Burnsville Apartments of deceptive pricing, junk fees, and unsafe living conditions. The complaint, brought by a current tenant on behalf of all tenants who signed leases in the past six years, alleges that the property's advertised rental prices did not reflect the true monthly cost due to undisclosed mandatory charges.
The lawsuit names Priderock Capital Partners, LLC, Priderock Capital Management, LLC, PRCP-Minnesota I, LLC, and PRCP-Minnesota Stone, LLC as defendants. According to the complaint, these entities collectively own and operate the apartment complex. The plaintiffs seek damages and injunctive relief for what they describe as unlawful practices that inflated tenants' housing costs while failing to provide habitable living conditions.
The complaint specifically alleges that the landlords engaged in deceptive advertising by omitting mandatory fees from quoted rents. These fees, characterized as "junk" fees, allegedly provided no meaningful benefit to tenants while increasing the landlords' revenue. Additionally, the lawsuit claims that tenants were improperly charged for common-area utilities, further increasing their monthly expenses beyond what was advertised.
Beyond financial allegations, the lawsuit raises serious habitability concerns. The complaint asserts that the landlords breached the implied warranty of habitability by failing to maintain controlled-access building security and by inadequately addressing pest infestations. These conditions, the plaintiffs argue, rendered the apartments unsafe and unfit for occupancy.
"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, one of the attorneys representing the tenants from Nichols Kaster, PLLP. "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."
The case, Miller v. Priderock Capital Partners, LLC, et al., Case No. 19WS-CV-26-808, is pending in the Minnesota First Judicial District. Additional information about the case can be found at nka.com/GlenAtBurnsville.
