52) The gym owner of B_____ _ F__ had a 1yr Anniversary & Member appreciation with food, people gathering, and taking pictures – Nov 17, 2018. 53) – (Revised) Email from L. Management – L_____ Representative Visit Today – Please be advised that a L_____ representative will be on site and testing keys at your location today. You do not need to be present for this to take place and our representative will be sure to leave door/locks in the condition they were found upon arrival. L_____ representative may enter your location to take a few pictures and notes to help us in future maintenance requests. Thank you, Longford Management – Nov 19, 2018 at 12:11 PM. 54) Maintenance Requests – On Monday, Nov 19, 2018 – the same day of the failed attempted access involving L. Management (temporary hire) and the gym owner. We contacted the representative because it was short notice not 48 hours notice, no emergency and close to the holidays. The L. Management representative, we talked to that day whose name is on the email agreed and changed the date to Jan 16, 2019, after the holidays. We were in the process of painting our unit since it wasn’t being provided by them. Also, we were seeking advice on how to handle the landlord issues and access going forward. Note: What was going on behind the scenes. According to the records (filed in court) of the Landlord’s management agent the gym owner and wife failed and refused to pay rent (residential) for the following months: March 2018, April 2018, May 2018, June 2018, July 2018, August 2018 through January 2019 and February 2019. The gym was in revoked status and still operating at that time. We watched in the window while the gym owner outside with his mother gesturing with a frustrated and disgusted look (documented). A far different happy look than when he had the 1yr Anniversary & Member appreciation with food, people gathering, and taking pictures on Saturday, November 17, 2018 – Tuesday, November 20, 2018 at 8:42 AM. 55) Email with information that we requested from the H_____ C_____ Services (after we talked to a Tenant Services Specialist) – Free Legal resources and DC Code on Access to Rental Unit – Nov 28, 2018 at 2:35 PM. 56) The Menkiti Group representative called us with questions such as was there a problem about the entry, and having a key in case of an emergency. Answer – We had some bad experiences – Nov 29. 2018 around 9:02 AM. 57) Email and attachment from L. Management that was meant for us but wasn’t addressed to us, it read – We would like to have you on an updated lease starting in 2019. If you wish to extend your lease we are sending over a lease document with a 3% increase to your current rent. Unless we hear from you otherwise your lease will remain to month-to-month and your rent will increase by 10% effective on the first day after December 31, 2018. We appreciate your residency and hope that you will continue to make this unit your home. Should you decide to relocate, please reference your lease for proper notice requirements and move-out procedures – Dec 5, 2018 at 11:46 AM. Note: At that time the property had never been registered (required) under 4013 Gault Place Partners LLC ownership (alias name) with the Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD), or inspected by a government inspector or any inspector. It was an underhanded tactic from L. Management and the Menkiti Group who build their brand around one of their mottos, transforming lives (“?”). 58) A loophole is an technicality or unclear section of a written document that allows it to be voided from following a rule or fulfilling an obligation, as a way to terminate it. The Residential Lease made Dec 5, 2018 between the Aroli Group (our names not listed) 3408 18th St NE – Unit 2-(incorrect – a pattern) Washington DC 20018. Note: We noticed they used the name Aroli Group on the lease not the Menkiti (Group) name. They took it back after they found out we were on to them. Part of it reads – Landlord may require that all payments be made by money order, cashier’s check and/or certified check. Tenant agrees that in event Tenant fails to pay any installment of rent within six (6) days of the date on which it is due and payable, Tenant must pay Landlord, in addition to the rent a late charge in the amount of five percent (5%) of the monthly rent. However, the six (6) day late period is NOT a grace period. The monthly rent is due and payable on the first of each month. If the amount due is a service charge, fee or other payment (other than the monthly rent), such amount shall be due upon transmission of the invoice by Landlord/Agent. The late charge must be paid as additional rent together with the rent then overdue and in arrears and acceptance of such payment is not a waiver of the requirement that rent is due on the first day of the month. Nothing in this lease constitutes a waiver or limitation of Landlord’s right to institute legal proceedings for rent, damages and/or repossession of the Premises for non-payment of any installment of rent when and as the same becomes due and payable etc. In the miscellaneous section part of it reads – C. Tenant acknowledges that the statements and representations made in the signed application for said Premises are true; that said statements have induced Landlord to enter into this Lease; that they deemed a part of this Lease; and that the falsity or any of them constitutes a material breach hereof and entitles Landlord to the same relief as a breach of any other covenant or condition contained herein. E. It is understood and agreed by the parties hereto that if any part, term, or provision of this Lease is by the Courts held to be illegal or in conflict with any law of the state or country where made, the validity of the remaining portions or provisions are not affected, and the rights and obligations of the parties will be construed and enforced as if the contract did not contain the particular part, term, or provision held to be invalid. Truthfulness of Rental Application: The Rental Application submitted by Tenant has been an inducement for Landlord to rent the Premises to Tenant. If any material facts in the Rental Application are untrue or if the Premises are occupied by anyone other than Tenant and the persons as stated in the Rental Application, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease, to hold Tenant liable for any damage to the Premises, and to avail himself of all rights and remedies to which he may be entitled at law or equity. Tenant acknowledges that no smoking or vaping is permitted in, on or about the premises. Tenant will not use the Premises or the Building for any disorderly or unlawful purposes or in any manner offensive to others and will comply with all applicable Federal and local laws and ordinances (note: double standards) Tenant shall not permit any person on the Premises or in the Building with Tenant’s permission to willfully or wantonly destroy, deface, damage, impair or remove any part of the structure or dwelling unit or the facilities, equipment, or appurtenances. Even if permitted by local law, Tenant expressly agrees not to allow or permit marijuana, controlled dangerous substances of any type or paraphernalia used in connection with marijuana or controlled dangerous substances within the Premises or the Building or in their common areas. Tenant expressly assumes the obligation and affirmative duty of prohibiting family members and guests from possessing or bringing onto the Premises or the Building or their common areas any marijuana or controlled dangerous substance or paraphernalia. Tenant expressly agrees that the use, cultivation, possession or distribution of marijuana or controlled dangerous substances or paraphernalia in the Premises or the Building or their common areas by the Tenant, family or guests shall constitute a substantial breach of this Lease by Tenant, which shall entitle Landlord to terminate this Lease and recover possession of the Premises. It is expressly stipulated and agreed to by Tenant that it will not be a defense to any action for possession resulting from Tenant’s breach of this paragraph that Tenant did not consent to or have knowledge of the presence of marijuana or controlled dangerous substances or paraphernalia upon the Premises or the Building or their common areas by Tenant’s family members or guests. This paragraph does not limit any rights Landlord might have to seek termination of this Lease without a showing of marijuana or controlled dangerous substances actually being on the Premises or the Building if vehicular and foot traffic to and from the Premises is of such magnitude so as to interfere with the enjoyment of neighbors or, if applicable, common areas etc. Note: On Nov 23, 2019 at 6:05 PM, we returned from an errand. The gym owner was standing near the back doorway with a cup in his hand as we entered. The smell of drugs was so strong, we could smell it in our hallway. The smell was all through our rental unit as we entered. It was overwhelmingly strong that it stifled us. Approximately 8:30 PM, the gym owner’s wife yelled out to the driver, “We are here!” The gym owner and wife left. The strong smell lingered all night into the day. It was sickening and a reminder. It wasn’t the first time, but this time was absolutely significant. We brought it up in a meeting with the Menkiti Group representative, the response: it is legal and they are not responsible for his actions because he is his own man. Double standards for the gym. Quite a bit of paragraph dedicated to substances. It is happening in the same building then and now. It is showing favoritism and it makes no sense.

59) Email from L. Management – Sign your lease for L. Management (our names not listed) – Your new lease is ready for your approval and signature – Dec 5, 2018 at 11:46 AM. 60) Email from L. Management – Reminder – Sign your lease for L. Management (our names not listed) – This is a reminder that your new lease is ready for your approval and signature – Dec 6, 2018 at 1:04 PM. 61) We talked to a Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) representative concerning the registration of the 3408 property who verified it verbally that it was not registered under the current owner (4013 Gault Place Partners LLC) but a registration was showing for a previous owner (year 1993). In a part of the conversation she stated, “The property was properly sold and the owner didn’t do what he was suppose to do, which was to get a Basic Business License have the property inspected and get it registered.” – Dec 6, 2018 around 10:27 AM. 62) We talked to a DHCD representative in reference to getting a document about the unregistered property (3408 18th St. NE) and mentioned the Menkiti Group in the conversation. In a previous conversation (Dec 6, 2018) with the same DHCD representative Robert mentioned Bo Menkiti (CEO) as the owner – Dec 7, 2018 around 10:13 AM. 63) Email & attachment from DHCD – RAD Registration 3408 18th Street NE – This is the only RAD registration for the property mentioned above.

Management – Lease Renewal – Please disregard the notice that was sent to you advising you of the renewal terms for your unit. The rental increase proposed in the renewal document sent to you will not apply. We will follow up with you shortly regarding the renewal of your lease, and the revised terms – Dec 12, 2018 at 12:25 PM. Through the agencies/organization we contacted, they were catching on to our every moves. Unknowing to us, it wasn’t in our favor. 66) We had an appointment with the OFFICE OF THE T_____ A_______ – Their representative (looked at our information as he typed it in) typed up the wrong address and zip code, 604 *** ***, NW, Apt ***, Washington DC 20016 (a pattern). The zip code 20016 does not match the address either – Several different agencies and/or organization using the same patterns around the same time we started, trying to get answers to protect ourselves. Also, he misspelled the first name of the Director of Property Management with L. Management (a pattern) – Dec 13, 2018. 67) The DC Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD), Rental Accommodations Division (RAD) certifies, on this 20th day of December 2018, that no Registration/Claim of Exemption Form is currently on file at RAD, for the residential rental property located at 4029 *** ***, NE Washington DC 20019 (incorrect address – a pattern) registered under the name 4013 Gault Place Partners LLC, Arok (misspelled – a pattern) Group LLC, the Menkiti Group, L. Management, and or W. Property Management. Note: C. Property Management was never listed. This is pertaining to the 2nd document. The zip code 20019 does not match the address either (a pattern). Several different agencies and/or organization using the same patterns around the same time we started, trying to get answers to protect ourselves. Arok Group LLC (?) suppose to be Aroli Group LLC. The first document with errors was given back, which we thought at first was an innocent mistake but it happened the 2nd and 3rd time as well, the 4th one was corrected to Aroli Group LLC but it took some runaround to get it corrected to that point. 68) The DC Department of Housing and Community Development, Rental Accommodations Divisions RAD certifies, on this 20th day of December 2018, that no Registration/Claim of Exemption Form is currently on file at RAD, for the residential rental property located at 3408 18th Street N.E Washington DC 20018, registered under the name 4013 Gault Place Partners LLC, M_ _ A_____, Arok Group LLC, the Menkiti Group, L. Management, and/or W. Property Management. Arok misspelled, suppose to be Aroli Group LLC. 69) DCRA CERTIFICATE – that a search of the official licensing records in the Business License for the gym revealed that: A Basic Business Public Health: Public Accommodations license endorsement for a Health Spa Sales is issued for the premise 3408 18th Street NE, Washington DC 20008 … – affixed as of the 31st day of December 2018. Note: The gym was in revoked status when this DCRA certification was made and the gym (B____ _ F__) was still operating. The zip code 20008 does not match our address (a pattern). Several different agencies and/or organization using the same patterns around the same time we started, trying to get answers to protect ourselves. They were trying to mislead us and others. This is what they would have seen if presented as a true document. That was low-down and dirty cause WE LIVE HERE! We know our zip code as 20018 not 20008. 70) DCRA CERTIFICATE – I HEREBY CERTIFY that a search of the official licensing records in the Business License Division for Aroli Group LLC t/a The Menkita Group revealed that: … affixed as of the 31st day of December 2018. MENKITA (misspelled – a pattern)-SUPPOSE TO BE THE MENKITI GROUP. Note: Only to find out later, there is a record that, The Menkiti Group t/a (trading as) or DBA (doing business as) name is canceled, Expiration Date: 4/22/2006. Almost 15 years to be doing business with the public and/or community, including rental (landlord/management), real estate, commercial, hiring, advertising, investors, with the DC Government as a Developer or otherwise, for the records. CODE OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA 47-2855.02. REGISTRATION REQUIRED – A person who carries on, conducts, or transacts business in the District of Columbia under any trade name shall register that trade name with the Department. TRADE NAME RENEWAL IS REQUIRED after its registration. A lot of deception going on and a lot of ENABLERS, Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs (DCRA) and Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) to name a few. The ones in question, you know who you are. It appears The Menkiti Group (their trade name – canceled) want to keep their corporate name, Aroli Group LLC and some of the other entities as separate as possible for deceptive business practices. As a matter of fact, there are two illuminated Menkiti Group signs displayed (one in Plain View) on the building at their headquarters. Also, 3401 (office) and 3405 8th St. NE is not listed on the property’s DEED. 3321-(retired) 3329 & 3407 8th St. NE is listed on the property’s DEED. That is misleading, misinformed and it is documented! It is required in DC to register your trade name if it is in use which it is, and meet the requirements. THAT IS THE DC LAW! How could they have gotten away with this for so long with help and cheating their way up the ladder? This entity is betraying themselves in the community as a no-nonsense, positive entity, helping people for the common good. On the other hand hurting and not caring about certain people, involving other people to do their dirty work while they stayed behind the scenes to be posted. Per Theresa’s near death experience, a reality check not forgotten! There were people and others aware of our overwhelming situation with this Landlord among other things. They treated it as though it was a minor concern that paved the way for more mistreatment and harmful tactics. AND IT DOES NOT STOP THERE!! A lot of funny business going on and it is Not a laughing matter! Some of their patterns have spilled over outside of DC. At one of the jurisdictions outside of DC, they applied for LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY REGISTRATION. For question 1) Full legal name in home jurisdiction: Answer: Aroli Group LLC. For question 2) Name it will use in _ if it is different from above: No answer given (left blank) Note: The Menkiti Group’s name is in use not the Aroli Group (LLC) a pattern. There are other patterns documented.
