Minneapolis To Take Over, Rehab, Resell 141 Mostly Vacant Homes
- Minneapolis Mayor RT Rybak says the city will take control of 141 mostly vacant rental homes on the Northside. A court-appointed receiver will manage the properties and work to rehab and resell them. The homes are associated with T.J. Waconia, a company the city is suing for mortgage fraud. The city's lawsuit accuses Waconia of buying homes, converting them to rental properties, collecting rent and then abandoning the properties.
