With new staff in place, Suite Liv'n has spent the last year improving its properties in order to correct deficiencies found during its rental renewal process. At the same time, it is attempting to repair its reputation in the community.
In an effort to repair its reputation in the community, Suite Liv'n of Willmar in March 2023 sent out a news release that was not factual stating that its properties had been declared a crime free zone in accordance with the Minnesota Crime Free Multi-Housing Program.
Many Suite Liv'n properties in the city have been operating without a renewed rental license for several months as the owners made required improvements to the properties. The memorandum of understanding was for the council to endorse the process the city has followed in working with the owners.
