A proposed class action lawsuit filed on July 17, 2026, in Dakota County, Minnesota, accuses the landlords of Glen at Burnsville Apartments of deceptive pricing, imposing junk fees, and maintaining unsafe living conditions. The complaint, brought by a current tenant on behalf of all similarly affected individuals, names Priderock Capital Partners, LLC, Priderock Capital Management, LLC, PRCP-Minnesota I, LLC, and PRCP-Minnesota Stone, LLC as defendants. According to the lawsuit, these entities collectively own and operate the apartment complex and are alleged to have engaged in practices that misled tenants about the true cost of renting.
The lawsuit claims that the defendants advertised rental prices that did not reflect the actual monthly costs tenants were required to pay. Specifically, the complaint asserts that mandatory charges—referred to as "junk" fees—were omitted from advertised rents, artificially inflating the affordability of apartments. These fees, according to the plaintiffs, provided no meaningful benefit to tenants but instead increased the landlords' revenue. Additionally, the complaint alleges that tenants were improperly charged for common-area utilities, further inflating their monthly obligations beyond the advertised price.
Beyond financial allegations, the lawsuit raises serious habitability concerns. The plaintiffs contend that the landlords failed to maintain controlled-access buildings, compromising security, and did not adequately address pest infestations. These conditions, the lawsuit argues, breach the implied warranty of habitability, a fundamental tenant right under Minnesota law. The complaint seeks damages for the amounts unlawfully charged and injunctive relief to stop these practices.
“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 seeks to represent tenants who executed a lease agreement with the Glen at Burnsville landlords within the past six years, along with multiple subclasses. The case, Miller v. Priderock Capital Partners, LLC, et al., Case No. 19WS-CV-26-808, is pending in the Dakota County First Judicial District. Plaintiffs are represented by Alexandra M. Robinson and Michele R. Fisher of Nichols Kaster, PLLP, a firm with offices in Minneapolis and San Francisco. Additional information about the case can be found at nka.com/GlenAtBurnsville.
