Raanan Katz, RK Centers "High End, High Quality" Shopping Plazas?

What Raanan Katz, RK Centers consider as a "high quality, higher end business"?

After careful review of some of Raanan Katz and RK Centers (former RK Associates) lease agreements, I noticed that they have one common condition and shopping plaza presentation as "HIGH END, HIGH QUALITY".

Low priced Asian Nail Spas, Dollar, Discount Stores are not unusual to see in RK Centers Plazas.

Probably the meaning of "HIGH END, HIGH QUALITY" is simply related to the rent amount.

Why neighbouring Aventura Mall has not rented the space to Asian Nail Spa next to Louis Vuitton store or Bal Harbour Mall did not invite Dollar Tree Store business to their Mall?

However, Aventura and Bal Harbour Malls offer valet parking services, vs to RK Centers "1 hour parking only" and tow-away services.

Aventura and Bal Harbour Mall websites present new businesses, fashion trends, social scene, videos, business directories, and whatever could potentially attract customers, making shopping experience pleasant.

RK Centers publications dedicated to promote Raanan Katz and his publicity.

Are RK Centers and Raanan Katz desperate to attract tenants into their plazas who will just sign RK Centers lease agreement with "gotcha", automatic lease renewal, and acceleration clauses?

Well, all the marketing approaches I have learned over the years also apply to attracting high-end clients, but there are a few steps that should be met:

1. To attract high-end clients, you need to design high-end services. It is like selling a Mercedes instead of a Hyundai. The commitment, time and energy is a must input into developing high-end services and programs that will deliver higher end results.

2. Marketing messages, materials, and marketing strategies need to communicate the message that higher-end services are offered. Perception is essential when you say "I offer high quality".

3. Then you have gained the right to charge more for your services. After all, you have organized your plaza to produce higher-end results, and done it in a way that makes your tenants feel special. They feel like they are at the Ritz-Carlton, not the Holiday Inn.

RK Centers, Raanan Katz Admitted In Their Pleadings Intentional Use Of Gotcha Clause

Below are the new arguments of Raanan Katz and RK Centers recently filed with Miami Court in regards to RK Centers use of "gotcha clause" in their leases.

"...blogger represents that Raanan Katz, Daniel Katz, RK Centers are engaging in an "improper business tactics" by "the continued use of a 'gotcha clause' in leases with tenants." Blogger contends that "RK Centers practice and clause was specifically decried against by a previous court against RK Centers."

Further, RK Centers and Raanan Katz argued: 

"Blogger ignores however, that the prior court was not an appellate court, and the subject order was case specific. The state court judge did not order that Plaintiffs could not use the clause in other leases if the tenants agreed to the contractual provision."

Does Raanan Katz actually state here that Court orders are not applicable to him?

In fact, Miami Court order speaks for itself "GOTCHA and AGAINST PUBLIC POLICY that this court cannot and WILL not condone"

 Additionally RK Centers, Raanan Katz admitted:

"The so-called "gotcha clause" is a provision in Plaintiffs' (RK Centers, Raanan Katz) standard lease that provides that the lease will automatically renew at the end of the term unless the tenant decides not to renew. Moreover, as Daniel Katz testified in the May 15 hearing, the tenants specifically initial and authorize this provision. Plaintiffs advise their tenants before the expiration of the lease whether it is going to expire or be renewed. The tenants do not have to automatically renew if they decide not to. There is nothing unlawful or fraudulent about such an arms-length, agreed-upon contractual provision."

Obviously, tenants "do not have to automatically renew", this is in Ranan Katz' financial interest to automatically renew the lease for as long as he wishes, especially when the tenant is already out and the new tenant is in.

His business is reflected on his face,

 or his face is a reflection of his business?

It is for you to decide

 

 

Memorandum Of Lease Between RK Centers and Ross For Less

Where is the GOTCHA CLAUSE in the lease agreement between RK Centers and Ross For Less? Isn't it among the most critical provisions of RK Centers and Ross For Less Memorandum of Lease? NO…

 This is another example that Raanan Katz and RK Centers apply "GOTCHA CLAUSE" exclusively to small business owners with limited or no financial legal resources. Small business owners have been beaten up and injured by RK Centers gotcha, against public policy actions. It is time to STOP it NOW!!!

“This Memorandum of Lease is effective upon recordation and is entered into by
and between R.K. CAUSEWAY PLAZA, LLC, an Oklahoma limited liability company
 ("Landlord"), having its principal place of business at 17100 Collins Avenue, Suite 225, Sunny Isles Beach, FL 33160, and ROSS FLORIDA DRESS FOR LESS, L. C., a Florida limited liability company ("Tenant"), having its principal place of business at 8311 Central Avenue, Newark, CA 94560-3433, who agree as follows:
By written lease (the "Lease"), Landlord leases to Tenant and Tenant hires from Landlord a portion of the real property located in the City of North Miami, County of Miami-Dade, State of Florida, described in Exhibit A hereto, for a term of approximately ten (10) years which term is subject to extension by Tenant for four (4) additional periods of five (5) years each.”

Where is RK Centers “standard industry” automatic lease renewal and acceleration clauses here???

RK Centers Shows No Signs Of Stopping

The recent RK Centers lawsuit 13-2012-CA-016490-0000-01, filed in Miami State Court, shows that Raanan Katz ignores and violates prior Miami State Court order entered against RK Centers.
Raanan Katz continued to include his Gotcha, AGAINST PUBLIC POLICY Clause in the leases, but moved it from paragraph 39 to 69 of the Lease.

RK Centers, Raanan Katz knowingly, maliciously incite small business owners to sign Lease with Gotcha Clause. 

Let’s get this straight. Miami State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle, please, get involved and STOP Raanan Katz enrichment at public expense.
We cannot afford and do not want to have more families suffering from RK Centers "against public policy" enrichment attempts.RK Centers owners enjoy luxury lifestyle in Miami.
