Dear Commissioner Jennfier Ho,
This is my third email today concerning both uninhabitable and unsafe rental property because I have followed all the steps to seeking protection from traditional sources such as animal control, city inspection and code enforcement and HUD housing specialist and inspection but have only been met with pushback and cover ups that seem racially motivated in a city of just three African Americans where government offices don't seem receptive to equal rights for all.
I am writing to formally report property theft and sustained intimidation by Rick Newmann, property manager for Don Klyberg, over the period from spring through fall 2024 in retaliation for rejecting the property manager's sexual advances and inappropriate text messages. The details of his conduct are documented in the following report:
“Rick Newmann: Surviving Don Klyberg”
Key Facts and Allegations
Mr. Newmann stole my property (notably a grill) and used it as a tool of intimidation: he would repeatedly remove, damage, and replace it outside my bedroom window.
His actions appeared timed and orchestrated—beating on the item, forcing me to watch, and reinforcing his “presence” in my life because I refused his sexual advances and did not respond to his messages.
This pattern of behavior persisted from May through August 2024, escalating in frequency and severity.
Instead of addressing this theft and harassment, New Ulm EDA and local housing oversight have allowed it to continue without accountability, effectively trapping me in a hostile and unsafe environment.
Requested Actions
I ask that your office:
Investigate Mr. Newmann’s theft and intimidation as a violation of tenant rights and criminal property laws.
Require restitution for stolen or damaged items.
Ensure protective measures so he cannot continue this harassment.
Hold the housing authority accountable for failing to act on these documented abuses.
Review oversight procedures to prevent similar abuses for other tenants.
At the attached link, you will find a public blog created for transparency with supporting documentation: photos, timestamps, relevant testimony from the blog article, and detailed chronology of incidents. Please confirm receipt of this email and provide information about next steps or references for lodging a formal complaint.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I expect that abuses such as these—especially in federally subsidized housing—demand accountability, not silence.
Sincerely,
A.C.

Your tenant/landlord question has been submitted to an attorney. We will respond to your question in the order it was received, which is usually within 1-2 business days (however it may be longer when we are experiencing a high volume of emails/calls). Now that you have submitted this form with your question, we kindly ask that you do not send another form/email nor call to leave a voicemail about the same topic.
"INTERNALLY DISPLACED PERSON" UPDATE:
Unlike all State of Minnesota professionals, who have never responded except to cover up complaints and crimes, or to discredit and harass me for making a report, HomeLine responded within two days. Their response is now listed on the front page of this blog.
My medical condition is deteriorating rapidly and has slowed my complaints and publications. But as you can see, even more aggressive administrative complaints are required to get action, and I am a totally isolated, forcibly non-functional, vulnerable adult with ADD, dementia-related short-term memory loss, and Legal Abuse Syndrome (LAS) recorded as PTSD. This is what they are making me do just to have the laws that are already in place protect me—essentially to save my life.
I have children and grandchildren who could not be protected or raised well enough because I was abusively kept ill—which I proved once and for all when I FLED in 2020 successfully connecting to normal medical treatment in another state and promptly returning to the workforce something that never should have been taken from me since 2003 (they're putting black people on welfare in Minnesota that do not need it by denying them access to the medical treatment to work—this is an internal DHS scam—I have already proved that now; they taking the money received for sick people and spending it on themselves), so their lives are already ruined forever, as is mine, all because I am the victim of chronic white-collar crimes, fraud, and medical malpractice—mostly by government employees themselves—and the law does not respond to correct anything. They respond with body-breaking violence, reputation-breaking violence, and economically destructive violence.
This is the real Minnesota paradox: white-collar crime committed mostly by white people against African Americans, and the government’s refusal to respond—and respond appropriately—because the victim is Black.
And throughout all of the 22 years that this has prevailed, it has been the Democratic Party and their DHS welfare programs and so-called community programs that have done these things to me, and Republicans in courts, police task forces, etc., who keep sending Black Minnesotans into DHS welfare programs in the first place by not upholding the law to protect them when crimes happen, leaving them with medical, economic, and legal barriers that devour the wealth they actually earned.
It is a cycle from which there is no escape. My leaving the state (to successfully find normalcy) and everything I own—including my legal identity—being stolen simply because I escaped 17 years of maltreatment, abuse, neglect, fraud, discrimination, and retaliation by DHS while they robbed Minnesotans blind is proof that these people track you down and legally beat on you, to say the least so that you can never be anything but broken and profitable to the government.
They’re lying about welfare being a drain—it is a profitable, lucrative business for those employed in government and part of the Democratic base (in Minnesota). And taxpayers are funding my abuse, so I need taxpayers to start fact-checking DHS and the government in general about where their money is going, and demand that the public hear from the people the government claims they’re giving the money to, so that taxpayers can see they’re doing no such thing.
News flash: America moved the plantation to the Department of Health and Human Services with the New Deal. You are reading the reports of a real-life modern slave; that is why my condition is inescapable. They’re paid billions for us filing paperwork, doing interviews, and meeting their demands for the promise of a better state of human welfare that never comes—any more than the end of plantation cotton picking would have come if the captives had not declared civil war.
If I am wrong, bring your proof versus mine. I’ll debate anybody publicly. I am reporting what I am reporting, and it’s on readers if they brush it aside.
The only time they’re not pursuing me is when they know I’m in sub-human conditions, totally isolated from society and unable to escape without injuring my stability further—only to reach the same outcomes, because again, there is only one problem here: access to equal law enforcement. Without their intervention, I have to stay in conditions that are a danger to my life.
This is what they did all 17 years before escape. This is what they did in youth before that. I’m demonstrating with evidence this is what they have done since my return. This is what they do because this is who they are—this is “Minnesota Nice.”
I have had enough. I’ll be forwarding articles and complaints to the GOP and the media from here on out.
