Rent Restitution — Brown Volume 04

PART A — What This Volume Is

Brown Vol 04 is the rent restitution track. It converts the long-run unlawful rent collection pattern into recoverable remedies (principal restitution, statutory overlays where applicable, and interest methodology).

Brown is designed to be used either: - Stand‑alone (rent restitution posture), or
- Integrated (as an additional base component alongside Blue and Red, with doctrine and execution handled in Yellow/Pink).

Authoritative sources inside the binder:
- Brown Vol 04 — Binder Control & Section Index
- Brown Tab A000 — Executive Overview — Rent Restitution Volume

PART B — What Brown Covers

Brown focuses on: - Principal rent paid during the unlawful occupancy period
- Remedy frameworks (equitable restitution; statutory overlays)
- Interest method (where elected by counsel)
- Evidence requirements (what must be proven and how)

Brown does not apply Method‑2 enterprise multipliers on this page (those live in Yellow and are executed in Pink).

PART C — Key Bands and Scenarios

Reference-only. Do not recalculate on this page. All figures below are quoted from Brown Tab A000.

Principal band (documented rent payments): $268K–$394K (Source: Brown Tab A000)

Enhanced recovery scenarios (illustrative totals):

Scenario (orientation) What changes Illustrative total (quoted) Source
Equitable restitution Principal only $268K–$394K Brown Tab A000
Civil RICO (statutory) Treble + fees posture $1.215M–$1.761M Brown Tab A000
Restitution + interest 9% simple interest (accrual-dependent) Up to ~$2.5M Brown Tab A000
GBL §349 overlay Fee‑shifting leverage Fees + modest damages Brown Tab A000

PART D — Where the Totals Live

For onboarding and cross‑citation:

  • Brown Tab A000 is the “what this is / what the bands mean” entry point.
  • Brown Tab B002 is the ledger + interest methodology (accountant‑ready rules).
  • Brown Tab B003 is where the courtroom‑usable scenarios/bands are organized for counsel selection.

If a number is going to be used in a memo, demand letter, or pleading, the safest rule is: cite B002/B003 (method + scenario), not this WEB page.

PART E — How to Cite Brown Numbers

Use one of these formats when referencing Brown figures elsewhere in the portal:

  • Principal band: “$268K–$394K (Source: Brown Vol 04 Tab A000; see Tab B002 for ledger method).”
  • RICO treble band: “$1.215M–$1.761M (Source: Brown Vol 04 Tab A000; statutory treble posture; counsel to confirm predicates and fees posture).”
  • Interest scenario: “Up to ~$2.5M (Source: Brown Vol 04 Tab A000; interest accrual assumptions in Brown Vol 04 Tab B002).”
