How RK Associates Ripped Off The Single Mother Of Special Needs Child

If you are a single mom of special needs child and struggling to get by, facing the burden of supporting yourself and your special needs kid all on one income. You are not relaying on government support, rather working hard to build your own business to provide food, medications, and education for special needs little one you love the most.


That was a thought of young American Jewish Single mother of special needs child, who decided to move to expend her business to one of RK Associates plazas. The little she knew was what kind of business RK Associates, Raanan Katz and Daniel Katz were actually involved in.

On December 26, 2007 she singed a Lease with RK Associates and Daniel Katz for the space located at 18090 Collins Avenue, T14, Sunny Isles Beach, Florida 33180 expiring on December 31, 2008.

RK Associates, Raanan Katz, and Daniel Katz automatically renewed her lease, without her knowledge and consent, from January 1, 2009 for the next five years and filed legal action against her claiming damages for five years in advance in the amount of about quarter a million dollars.

On March 18, 2009 RK Associates, Raanan Katz, and Daniel Katz filed affidavit of damages with the court, stating that SINGLE JEWISH MOTHER OF SPECIAL NEEDS CHILD IS LIABLE FOR DAMAGES RESULTED FROM BREACH OF THE LEASE IN THE AMOUNT OF $244,142.93 (for the space 18090 Collins Avenue, T14).

On February 26, 2009 RK Associates and Daniel Katz signed lease agreement with another company for the space 18090 Collins Avenue, T14 with a commencement date of March 1, 2009. THIS LEASE WAS SIGNED BY DANIEL KATZ PERSONALLY.

Therefore, per RK Associate, Raanan Katz, Daniel Katz, on March 1, 2009 they had two executed lease agreements for the space 18090 Collins Avenue, T14, allowing them to demand rent for the space from both business owners for the same period of time.

Every reasonable person would say “absurd, nonsense, it’s not possible, it’s illegal”. However, RK Associates successfully collected double, triple rent for the same period, from the same space.

So what happened to young single Jewish mother of special needs little girl. RK Associates obtained judgment against her, took possession of the property belonged to her mother (approximate cost of $150,000.00), claimed that the property was sold for $5.00 (FIVE DOLLARS), and filed satisfaction of judgment. Up to date this poor single Jewish mother of special needs child is struggling to get her family’s money back, paying thousands of dollars to attorneys and NOT BEING ABLE TO GIVE ALL HER LOVE AND ENERGY TO HER SPECIAL NEEDS LOVELY LITTLE GIRL.

Raanan Katz called himself “dedicated Jew”. Raanan Katz and Daniel Katz are the most immoral human-being in the world. They are dare enough to take bread from little Jewish special needs child to support their luxury lifestyle.

Raanan Katz and Daniel Katz represented by elite law firm Kluger, Kaplan, Silverman, Katzen & Levine PL. What are moral values of these Elite American Jewish attorneys?

RE: City of North Miami Code Enforcement Liens against RK Causeway Plaza
Dear Russell:
I thought that my enclosed letter to you would bring the matter to a conclusion because all of the old violations did not belong to us, but to former tenants from before we purchased the shopping center, some of who are long gone.
I would appreciate it if we can settle this matter prior to June 28, 2011, based or my letter, but if it is not possible, please put us on the agenda and let us know the date, time and place where we need to be.
My son, Dan Katz, and our in-house attorney Gavin Kahn will attend the meeting.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Regards,
Raanan Katz

Re: City of North Miami Code Enforcement Liens Against RK Causeway Plaza, LLC 12117 Biscayne Blvd., North Miami, Case #ZZZCE-2005-00337
12155 Biscayne Blvd., North Miami, Case #FLEIN-2010-00290
Dear Mr. Benford:
I am writing to you in an effort to settle the above-mentioned City of North Miami Code Enforcement Liens against my company, RK Causeway Plaza, LLC. ("RK"). Our attorneys have attempted to resolve these issues, but have reached an impasse. RK has been a landlord in the City of North Miami for many years and has always valued its relationship with the City. I am hopeful that we can come to a resolution very soon.
Please note that RK is the landlord and property owner of the above-referenced locations and that the liens were the result of code violations (building without permit) by former tenants several years ago. Additionally, both code violations were brought in compliance and closed within one year of issuance. A former employee of RK was handling these issues and they were not brought to the attention of management. In August 2010, RK's management received a Notice of Unresolved Code Violations. Since that time, we have made continuous good faith efforts to resolve these cases with the City of North Miami.
We understand the law on this matter. However, it is unfair to hold the landlord responsible for the actions of its former tenants many years ago. We are not seeking preferential treatment. We are simply asking the City to be fair and reasonable given the circumstances and the fact that RK was not responsible for the code violations.
In the spirit of reaching a settlement, and continuing a positive relationship with the City, RK proposes the following resolution: RK will donate $10,000.00 to the City of North Miami's Parks and Recreation Department to sponsor a basketball shooting skills tournament in the City of North Miami. This community event would generate good will for everyone involved. Additionally, if requested by the City during September 1, 2011 — October 31, 2011, I will use my best efforts to secure a current or former Miami Heat player to attend the event.
Please let me know if this offer is acceptable to the City of North Miami. If you are unable to approve this offer, we respectfully request a City Commission hearing to discuss this proposal. Thank you for your time and consideration of our offer.
Sincerely,
RK Associates,
Raanan Katz"

Just wondering if the Miami Heat Player would be notified of being used as a part of the settlement.

Message to Raanan Katz: "Raanan, learn how to pay your bills on your own."

RK Associates Lease - What to Look For ?

1. Acceleration clause.

The tenant shall pay monthly payment for the length of the lease until it expire. Acceleration clause allows to claim the total amount of lease upfront, if a tenant alleged in a breach.

2. Automatic renewal

Automatic renewal clause allows to renew the lease without the tenant consent. Majority of legitimate leases require action from the tenant to renew.

3. Raanan Katz prior lawsuits and his "business" model

RK Associates and Commercial Lease Fraud

"Commercial lease fraud is a term that covers a number of unfair and deceptive trade practices executed by large corporations, private companies, lenders, etc. Consumers who are victimized by lease fraud can suffer significant financial losses.

Perpetrators of commercial lease fraud knowingly deceive tenants in an effort to make more profit. Commercial lease fraud can occur in a number of different ways including, but not limited to:

* Terms of the lease are abused
* Higher costs than originally represented
* Manipulating operating cost
* Excessive early termination penalties
* Transaction deceptions"

RK Associates and Raanan Katz induce tenants to sign commercial lease that allows them financially benefit when a tenant breaches the lease. For example, if a tenant with 5 year lease alleged in breach of the lease on the first year, according to their lease the tenant must pay them instantly the remaining 4 years of the lease. When they lease to the next tenant with the same story they can claim from the new tenant "damages" for the same space for the same period of time. According to the court documents it is not unusual for RK Associates and Raanan Katz to do the following:

* RK Associates led by Raanan Katz can automatically renew commercial leases without tenants consent, even demanding money under expired lease
* RK Associates led by Raanan Katz charge tenants for common area maintenance (CAM) as much as they want without providing accounting documents
* RK Associates led by Raanan Katz can claim double or triple rent as "damages" for the same rental space, for the same period of time from different tenants
* RK Associates led by Raanan Katz can enter the leased premises by changing the lock, take private property without tenants consent and court orders.

"Under federal and state laws, consumers who have been wronged by leasing scams may be eligible to recover damages through a consumer fraud lawsuit. In the event that a group of consumers have been similarly harmed as a result of lease fraud, they may file a class action consumer fraud lawsuit."

Another important point to mention, several lawsuits have been filled against RK Associates and Raanan Katz alleging them in fraud, theft and more.

Raanan Katz Real Estate Get Rich Scheme

Raanan Katz the owner and founder of RK Associates created his "triple net lease scheme" to enrich himself.

In a triple net lease plan, the tenant pays a fixed rent and a significant share of the operating expenses, taxes and insurance associated with the commercial real estate unit.

Raanan Katz Triple Net Scheme involves extensive collection of monies claimed to be towards operating expenses from thousands of tenants. On tenants request, Ranan Katz and his companies refuse to disclose the actual operating expenses.
Raanan Katz's son and partner Dan Katz says: "We do not provide these documents to the tenants".
Raanan Katz and his companies have been served with the request for production of proof of operating expenses in several lawsuits with fraud allegations. Yet, these documents have not been seen by the tenants, attorneys, and the court.
In Massachusetts Raanan's refusal to provide proof of repair expenses and lying to the court cost him sentence for criminal contempt in late 70s.
However, nothing can stop this man, and his “operating expense” scheme works for his enrichment up to date.
Taking into consideration the fact that Raanan Katz and his companies have over 6,000,000 square feet of commercial spaces and thousands of tenants, this scheme practicing for decades allows him to pocket millions of dollars in overcharged operating expenses from unsuspicious tenants.

City of Sunny Isles named NE 170th Street after Raanan Katz

City of Sunny Isles named NE 170th Street after Raanan Katz. This was part of the settlement. That simply means that the City traded off the street name to Raanan Katz. According to the Massachusetts court records Raanan Katz has criminal contempt to court and racial discrimination records in the US. See prior post. Is he the right person to have the street named after?


Sunny Isles is one mile long city in South of Florida. In spite of person's records this little City is ready to sell anything to anyone.
This position of the City of Sunny Isles Beach affects moral values of the US citizens.

Is it moral to ignore the US citizens' opinion regarding street name for sale? Of course not.
There is a clear guide to moral obligation for Americans in relationships with other Americans. "We are the people of the United States". This means all the people of the country. Not some, nor most, nor this group or that, but all the people. It means what goes for one must go for all. It means what is done by one group must apply equally to all.
How we treat one another in our country is defined and guided by the Constitutional rights to which we are pledged, and are obligated to defend without exception, regardless of personal feelings.
City of Sunny Isles personal feelings are definitely affect Americans' moral values and disrespect individual choice of every citizen and resident of the City of Sunny Isles and the United States in general.
City of Sunny Isles has no moral obligations to force Americans to believe in destructive morality and stability.

RK Centers Attempt to Rip-off Florida Doctor Failed

RK Centers (former RK Associates) demanded money from the former tenant under expired lease.

Miami-Dade Circuit Court ruled against Raanan Katz owned company-RK Centers.

RAANAN KATZ

On 30th day of May 2002 Dr.Witt signed commercial Lease Agreement with RK Associates- RK Centers for the premises located at 17044-46 Collins Avenue, Sunny Isles Beach Florida beginning the 1st day of June 2002, and ending the 31th Day of December 2003.
In 2004 RK Associates,  RK Centers filled lawsuit case #04-1228CA against Dr. Witt claiming rent payment for 2004. RK Associates, RK Centers court papers reveal

"Count I-BREACH OF THE LEASE

11. Lessee (Dr.Witt) has breached the lease by failing to pay their rent in full for the month of January 2004 in the amount of $5,775.00. Said breach constitutes a default under the lease.

12. That Pursuant to Paragraph 41 of the Lease Agreement, LESSOR (RK Associates) is granted and hereby exercise the right to accelerate all amounts due and owing for the remainder of the lease term. The total accelerated amount due for February 2004 through December 2004 is $63,525.00.

13....The Lease was automatically renewed, without the requirement of a further act, lease or agreement by either party for a period of one (1) year.

14. LESSEE (Dr. Witt) has failed or refused to reimburse LESSOR (RK Associates) for their proportionate share of past due and accelerating expenses for 2004 is $18,000.00.

15. Plaintiff (RK Associates) has sustained damages in the amount of $87,300.00 plus additional late fees that shall accrue hereafter.

16. LESSEE (Dr. Witt) is obligated to pay all costs of collection and attorney's fees."

Court order: "The lease provided no right of extension of the lease to the Defendant. However, it has a clause which provided that if the Lessee failed to notify the Lessor (RK Associates) in writing by certified mail at least six (6) full calendar months prior to the expiration of the lease, the Lessor (RK Associates) could at Lessor's discretion automatically extend for an additional year.
Such a clause is repugnant to the Court and against public policy...This was a "Gotcha" clause that this court cannot and will not condone. Judgment for the Defendant Dr.Witt"

Do you believe RK Associates (now RK Centers) and Raaan Katz comply with this court order?
Raanan Katz's RK Associates,  RK Centers group continued to include this "GOTCHA" clause in the Leases and continue to sue their tenants.
