Tenants who fought Minneapolis landlord for years get a windfall

Vanessa Del Campo was overwhelmed by the ongoing battle against cockroach and mice infestation, appliances that didn’t operate and myriad other problems until she joined a tenants’ rights group that took on her landlord, Stephen Frenz.

Last week she opened her mailbox at her apartment building on the 3100 block of 22nd Ave. S. in Minneapolis and found one of the fruits of that fight, a check addressed to her for $4,000, part of a class action settlement.
