Description

A group of five famílies, fed up with the state of their houses, the repairs not being done thought they should be their own landlords. This group, dubbed the Corcoran Five, not only have been a major part of winning a landmark $18.5 million class-action settlement for thousands of Frenz’s former tenants — the largest of its kind in Minnesota history — but on May 18, 2020, they achieved what many considered to be the impossible: The group signed a purchase agreement for the five buildings from their landlord and have begun turning them into a tenant-run co-op.
