EXPOSING WRONG DOINGS – PART 18

140) On Nov 4, 2019, a Non-Redeemable Judgement for possession concerning the gym owner and wife’s residential. 141) On Nov 5, 2019, we had a Status Court Hearing. The Director of Property Management with L. Management and their attorney present (this is just part of it). Court: Well, Inspector __ did the close out inspection and they said basically 17 of the 21 items had been addressed and there were four remaining items. Have those four remaining items been fixed? Attorney: No, Your Honor, and the reason for that is that last Monday, was the date of the inspection. That morning, the landlord was there with the contractor attempting to complete the remaining items which are installing a window, doing some grouting, figuring out what needs to be done to complete the precautions to prevent rodent infestation. At that time, the contractor was unable and unwilling to do any further work in the unit because the plaintiffs are so disruptive, and harassing, that the contractor doesn’t feel safe or able to complete the work if they’re home or if he is not accompanied by a police officer. So this was discussed with Inspector during the time of the inspection. (Fast-forward at the hearing) Robert: Also, may I say something else, Your Honor? The Court: No, I’m going to finish this up, I’ve got a courtroom full of people. Robert: Okay. The Court: I’m going to hold you to what you say. If you say anything to the contractor after you let him into your unit, then he has the right to leave and I’m going to dismiss the case. The same DCRA/court inspector who was present & said nothing even though that never happened just to clear us or herself, nor did they have plans to do the work on Oct 28, 2019. At first it was to buy time to see what we had. They tried to put it on us as being the problem and to discredit by lying on us in court for damage control on record. They tried to get us riled up (inside or outside the court) to get the case dismissed to put their next tactic in place per the 30 Day NOTICE TO CORRECT OR VACATE. We were the victims and we were the ones who took them to court to get repairs done and it was being turned around on us. This same vendor came back to the rental with a helper only. There was no police officer, no security team and even spoke and said hi like nothing had happened. Just before we left out on Nov 5 to go to the hearing, we called to check in with them because we hadn’t heard anything from them. Starting with the (current) Service Manager with L. Management left a message – (documented) – Nov 5, 2019 around 7:50 AM. We called the Director of Property Management with L. Management left a message (documented) – Nov 5, 2019 around 7:52 AM. Again, we called the (current) Service Manager with L. Management, left a message (documented) – Nov 5, 2019 around 8:28 AM. Again, we called the Director of Property Manager with L. Management, left a message (documented) – Nov 5, 2019 around 8:29 AM. As a last ditch effort we called the Menkiti Group/Aroli Group representative, and left a message (documented) – Nov 5, 2019 around 8:32 AM.

142) On Nov 16, 2019 at 4:15 PM, a pink note was placed on our door by a server. It was an attempt to serve Joseph or Robert (Theresa’s name omitted) 30 DAY NOTICE TO CORRECT OR VACATE. 143) On Nov 19, 2019, this date was a sad reminder of the illegal attempted access, a year earlier. It made matters worse when we came home and saw the 30 DAY NOTICE TO CORRECT OR VACATE, Dated: Nov 13, 2019 approximately 3:19 PM, taped on the door – Robert went into the (Menkiti) office, Theresa was too upset at that moment to meet with a Menkiti Group/Aroli Group representative about the 30 DAY NOTICE TO CORRECT OR VACATE. The representative wanted him to read and follow the document and they can proceed from there – Note: Theresa’s name omitted – #2 AKA- (A) – Your violation consists of the following: 1) Unauthorized changing of unit locks. 2) Failure to provide access to the landlord or their agents for purposes of inspection and repairs. Lease dated: April 7, 2011 – Paragraphs: 15 and 20 – You have thirty (30) days within to cure the foregoing violation, in which case this notice shall be deemed withdrawn. Provided, however, that a renewal of such violation shall be cause for the housing provider to seek possession of your premises without further opportunity on your part to cure such a violation. You are hereby given thirty (30) days to cure the violation(s). The violation(s) may be cured by: 1) Re-install original locks to the unit or provide landlord a copy of keys to the new locks. 2) Allow landlord and/or agent access to the property for purposes of inspection repair. By reason of the foregoing, in the event you do not cure within the thirty (30) day period, this letter shall be deemed to be your notice to Quit and Vacate, and you are hereby notified that the housing provider desires to have and gain possession of the premises occupied by you as set forth above, no later than midnight December 31, 2019. In the event you fail to vacate the premises as aforesaid, it will be necessary that the housing provider take such steps as are appropriate to secure possession of the premises. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve you of your obligation to promptly pay all future rents due or prevent management from suing for possession based upon non-payment of rent. You are also notified that the rent for the premises is due in accordance with your lease, up to and including the period after which you are required to Quit and Vacate pursuant to the terms thereof. Landlord expressly reserves the right to demand, collect or accept rent for the period after expiration of this Notice without waiving the right to enforce this Notice and the terms of the lease agreement between the parties. This notice shall not relieve you from any claims for any other damages, which may arise out of the lease agreement. This property is registered with the Rental Accommodations and Conversion Division. RACD(?) The Housing Provider’s Registration Number is LR#. A copy of this letter has been filed with the Rental Accommodation and Conversion Division within 5 days of service upon you. Payment by you, or acceptance of rent by the owner/management after this notice will not waive this notice of your violation of the lease/tenancy unless you cure the violation noted above signed by L. Management attorney – Note: Since 2009 to the time L. Management came on the scene as our property management, the Menkiti Group/Aroli Group wasn’t interested in rekeying or a key during the period (then) 9 years. The LR# is incorrect, a number is missing (a pattern). L. Management took bits and pieces of the April 7, 2011 lease and tried to turn it in their favor but the Menkiti Group/Aroli Group did not hold up on their end such as 7. under Utilities: trash to be provided by owner and that has never happened. It was part of the rent and they wouldn’t/didn’t do it for their own purposes. We pay our own electricity. They had it checked on the RAD Registration/Claim of Exemption Form as part of the rent when it was filled out and stamped Jan 18, 2019 including appliances we don’t have and/or was not provided by the Menkiti Group/Aroli Group and/or their property managers. Note: RACD(?) The Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) RAD Registration/Claim of Exemption Form shows RAD (Rental Accommodations Division) in the right-hand corner at the bottom not RACD (Rental Accommodations and Conversion Division – a pattern). 144) The gym owner and wife’s residential situation going behind the scenes – Writ of Resolution (possession of premises) – Approved and Filed – Dec 2, 2019. APPLICATION TO STAY EXECUTION OF WRIT OF RESTITUTION – The eviction was set for Jan 13, 2020. 145) Our email draft to the landlord – Keys Given to Ownership – We – Theresa and Robert have taken keys to ownership The Menkiti Group our landlord to cure the eviction notice for December 31, 2019. A member of The Menkiti Group has agreed verbally/this meets ownership request, and that actions will be taken to stop this eviction process. And 48hr notice will be given upon entry at 3408 18th St NE #A Wash; D.C. 20018 Upper Level. PS! We would like to be present at each entry of Ownership and Management & we will not say anything to vendors as discussed partially with ownership, and partially with the Judge in court. We printed our names and signed the email draft – Dec 9, 2019 at 8:59 AM. 146) On Dec 9, 2019 at 3:58 PM, we purchased a set of duplicate keys. We brought the keys home tested the keys, it worked. On Dec 10, 2019, we tested the keys again and documented it for our protection and headed to the (Menkiti) Office to deliver the keys and email draft – Keys Given to Ownership for it to be signed. We sat down with the representative and presented the keys and email draft – Keys Given to Ownership to be read and signed. The representative declined to sign it and said he would have to have someone there to review it to make sure it is incompliance with their internal procedures. He never got back with us about it. We discussed different issues with him about how we felt and the way we were being underhandedly mistreated, ganged up on, lied on, slandered. We told him, it was a conspiracy and we were going to defend ourselves. Since then the representative we spoke to has left.

147) Gym owner and wife’s residential situation – MOTION TO VACATE DEFAULT JUDGEMENT AND QUASH WRIT – Dec 16, 2019. Note: This was going on behind the scenes while the landlord and management were trying to push us out with tactics and/or other means – deadline: Dec 31, 2019. 148) Gym owner and wife’s residential situation – PLAINTIFF OPPOSITION TO DEFENDANT’S MOTION TO VACATE DEFAULT JUDGEMENT AND QUASH WRIT filed Jan 7, 2020. 149) Gym owner and wife’s residential situation – PLAINTIFF’S OPPOSITION TO APPLICATION TO STAY EXECUTION OF WRIT OF RESTITUTION – Jan 8, 2020. Note: It details (shedding light) on how they were trying to buy time, acting unaware of their issues such as they have not shown any reason why they have failed to pay any rent at all for months and months concerning their residential situation. This was going on while the landlord and management was working on us to make room for them to still operate under the radar with underhanded tactics and with their helpers using noise tactics, blocking us, intimidation, certain people assigned to deal with us, on the scope of everything, giving us the runaround, trying to operate off radar. 150) On Jan 9, 2020 – Stayed by consent of both parties through Jan 15, 2020. This case was scheduled for a Status Hearing on Jan 15, 2020 at 9:30 AM. 151) Writ of Restitution Status Certificate concerning the gym owner and wife’s residential situation – Quashed by consent of both parties. The eviction scheduled on Jan 13, 2020 has been canceled – Jan 15, 2020.
