If your fiancee's name was on the lease but she didn't sign it, the lease has not been fully executed. After you have moved into apartment #2, then deal with apartment #1, when you're living in Minneapolis. See when apartment #1 was rented. Then go to whatever local and/or state agencies might be able to help you. As a last resort, you sue in small claims court.
