JJ Legacy School in north Minneapolis says it stopped paying rent in a last-ditch effort to force its landlord, Our Lady of Victory Catholic Church, to make repairs. The rental dispute reveals holes in state law.
The school claims the church ignored requests for repairs for years; the church claims the school hasn't paid rent and has left the future of the parish uncertain.
Legacy of Dr. Josie R. Johnson Montessori School, or JJ Legacy School, had been housed in a school building owned by Our Lady of Victory Church and received an eviction notice about two weeks ago.
