🚨 SLUMLORD ALERT: Rick Newmann & His Enabler Don Klyberg 🚨 In 2018, the City of Minneapolis condemned two properties owned by notorious slumlord Don Klyberg and revoked rental licenses for all of his North Minneapolis properties due to inhabitable living conditions, lack of basic repairs, and threats to tenant safety. Rather than taking accountability, Klyberg fled to a small, secluded sundown town—a place historically known for excluding Black residents—and continued business as usual, quietly exploiting vulnerable tenants away from public scrutiny. Now, in 2025, the pattern of abuse continues. ⚠️ CURRENT CRISIS: Sexual Harassment & Retaliation A current tenant—a woman of color with disabilities—has come forward with serious allegations of sexual harassment and retaliatory behavior by Rick Newmann, Klyberg’s property manager. Instead of acting to protect the victim, the system appears to be shielding Klyberg and Newmann, just as it did before. 📂 Receipts & Documentation Don’t Lie Everything stated here can be substantiated. Full documentation and records are available at: 👉 wallsofsilence.drr.ac This is not just one incident. This is a pattern—a long-standing culture of neglect, abuse, and predatory landlord behavior enabled by weak enforcement and systemic bias. WE DEMAND: Immediate investigation into Rick Newmann’s conduct Re-examination of Don Klyberg’s active properties and compliance history Legal protection and public support for the survivor Transparency and accountability from all agencies involved 📣 If you've ever lived in a Klyberg-owned property or experienced harassment by Rick Newmann, you're not alone. Your voice matters. This ends when we make it visible. #TenantJustice #SlumlordWatch #MinneapolisHousingCrisis #WallsofSilence #LandlordAccountability #RickNewmann #DonKlyberg #TenantRights
