On July 17, 2026, a current tenant filed a proposed class action against the landlords of Glen at Burnsville Apartments, alleging that tenants were lured in with advertised rental prices that did not reflect the true monthly cost of living at the property. The lawsuit, filed in Dakota County, Minnesota, names Priderock Capital Partners, LLC, Priderock Capital Management, LLC, PRCP-Minnesota I, LLC, and PRCP-Minnesota Stone, LLC, which collectively own and operate the apartment complex. The Complaint seeks damages and injunctive relief related to undisclosed, nonoptional fees, improperly apportioned utilities, and serious habitability concerns.
The action is brought on behalf of tenants who executed a lease agreement with the Glen at Burnsville landlords within the past six years, as well as multiple subclasses. According to the Complaint, Glen at Burnsville deceptively advertised apartments at prices lower than what tenants were actually required to pay each month by omitting mandatory charges from the advertised rent. Some of those charges were "junk" fees that increased the landlords' revenue while providing no meaningful benefit to tenants. The Complaint also alleges that tenants were improperly charged for common-area utilities and that the landlords breached the covenants of habitability by failing to maintain controlled-access buildings and by failing to 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, one of the attorneys representing the tenants. "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."
Plaintiffs are represented by Alexandra M. Robinson and Michele R. Fisher of Nichols Kaster, PLLP, which has offices in Minneapolis, Minnesota and San Francisco, California. The case is titled: Miller v. Priderock Capital Partners, LLC, et al., Case No. 19WS-CV-26-808 (Dakota County, Minnesota First Judicial District).
This lawsuit highlights ongoing concerns about deceptive pricing practices in the rental housing market, where tenants may face unexpected costs that significantly increase their monthly housing expenses. The outcome of this case could set a precedent for how rental properties disclose fees and maintain living standards.
