A proposed class action 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 lawsuit, brought by a current tenant on behalf of all similarly affected individuals, claims that the property's advertised rental prices did not reflect the true monthly cost, as mandatory charges were omitted from the listed rates.
The complaint names Priderock Capital Partners, LLC, Priderock Capital Management, LLC, PRCP-Minnesota I, LLC, and PRCP-Minnesota Stone, LLC as defendants. These entities collectively own and operate the apartment complex. The lawsuit seeks damages and injunctive relief for alleged violations including undisclosed nonoptional fees, improperly apportioned utility charges, and serious habitability issues such as broken controlled-access systems and inadequate pest control.
According to the complaint, the defendants used deceptive advertising to make apartments appear more affordable, only to impose additional mandatory fees after leases were signed. These fees, described as "junk" fees, allegedly increased the landlords' revenue without providing any meaningful benefit to tenants. Additionally, tenants were improperly charged for common-area utilities, further inflating their monthly costs.
The lawsuit also alleges that the landlords breached the implied warranty of habitability by failing to maintain safe and livable conditions. Specifically, the complaint points to malfunctioning controlled-access buildings that compromised security and persistent pest infestations that were not adequately addressed. These conditions, the plaintiffs argue, rendered the apartments unfit for habitation.
“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 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.”
The class action covers tenants who executed a lease with the Glen at Burnsville landlords within the past six years, with multiple subclasses defined. The case is titled Miller v. Priderock Capital Partners, LLC, et al., Case No. 19WS-CV-26-808, in the Dakota County First Judicial District. Additional information about the case is available at nka.com/GlenAtBurnsville.
