Minneapolis renters ask where rent goes as landlord tops $1M in unpaid utility bills

The Minneapolis City Council voted Thursday to send more than $12 million in unpaid water, sewer and trash bills to Hennepin County for collection through property tax bills. Fine Associates owes more than $1 million across five properties, including two downtown apartment buildings. Tenants at Marquette Place and 110 Grant say the debts accompany complaints about maintenance, flooding and poor communication from the landlord.
