Pembroke Pines, Florida 33027
RE: — Ivanhoe East at Century Village Condominium #I Association, Inc.
Restrictive covenant violation—Unit U-412
Property address: 13000 S.W. 15" Court, #U-412, Pembroke Pines, Florida 33027
Dear Ms. and Mr. Garcia:
Please be advised that this office represents Ivanhoe East at Century Village Condominium #1
Association, Inc., as general counsel. In such capacity, the Association’s Board of Directors has
contacted me regarding the continuing restrictive covenant violations at your condominium unit.
First, and as you should be aware, Carlos Garcia’s residency at your condominium unit is in
violation of the governing documents of the Association. As you are aware, all occupants must
be approved for residency by the Association in the manner provided in its governing documents,
In this case, Mr. Garcia has failed to submit a completed application for occupancy, has failed to
pay the screening fee, and has failed to arrange for and appear at a screening. The failure to meet
these requirements constitutes a violation of the Association governing documents, and the
violation must be corrected at once.
Second, it has been reported to the Board of Directors that Mr. Garcia has been violating several
of the rules and regulations governing the community. He has been observed dumping
construction and other contractor-materials at the community’s dumpster. Further, activities at
the condominium unit have caused police to be at present at your unit and in the community.
Finally, it has been reported that Mr. Garcia has been observed at the community's pool engaging
in illegal activities. The situation clearly constitutes, at best, a nuisance at the property and, at
B
22 pages
worst, illegal activity at the property, and Mr. Garcia's actions are breaching the other —
condominium residents’ entitlement to the peaceful, quiet enjoyment of their condominium units —
and the condominium property. These violations, too, must be corrected at once. 4 ca ‘sS
ake
Therefore, final demand is hereby made for you to correct these violations by no later than >< an
September 19, 2013. In particular, Carlos Garcia and any and all persons (other than Emma Heed

Garcia) must be permanently removed from residency at your condominium unit. Further, and
by such time, you must ensure that all other rule and regulation violations listed above
permanently cease. Upon compliance with these demands, you must forward a letter to this
office indicating that you have done so. However, in the event you fail to comply with these
demands within the time set forth, the Association will have no alternative but to file a legal
action against you, without further notice, to obtain injunctive relief requiring the removal of
Carlos Garcia and other occupants/residents from your unit (other than Emma Garcia).
Additionally, please be aware that, should legal action become necessary, you will be responsible
for the attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by the Association in enforcing the provisions of its
governing documents.
Please govern yourselves accordingly.

RE: Ivanhoe East at Century Village Condominium #1 Association, Inc.
Restrictive covenant violation—Unit U-412
Property address: 13000 S.W. 15" Court, #U-412, Pembroke Pines, Florida 33027
Dear Ms, and Mr, Garcia:
As you will recall, this office represents Ivanhoe East at Century Village Condominium #I Association,
Inc., as general counsel. Previously, you had received a letter from me, dated September 5, 2013, noting
violations at your condominium unit and demanding that they be cured. In response, Mr. Garcia
contacted my client’s officers and indicated that Marco Laparra will vacate the unit, but he did not
specify a timeframe. My client’s timeframe deadline for Mr. Laparra’s removal from the unit was
September 19, 2013, but to date, he still remains at the unit and in the community. As such, and
inasmuch as Mr. Garcia indicated a willingness to resolve the matter, my client has agreed to give you
one last opportunity to resolve the matter before suit is filed. By no later than October 16, 2013, Marco
Laparra must vacate or be permanently removed from residency at your condominium unit. Further, all
other rule and regulation violations set forth in my September 5, 2013, letter must immediately and
permanently cease. All violations have been corrected, you must forward a letter to this office indicating
that you have done so. However, in the event you fail to comply with these demands by October 16,
2013, the Association will have no alternative but to immediately file suit. As indicated earlier, should
legal action become necessary, you will be responsible for the attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by the
Association in enforcing the provisions of its governing documents.
[Please note that, inasmuch as this matter has been referred to this office, any correspondence with my
client must be through this office. You may not contact my client’s officers, Board members, nor
community association manager, directly, regarding this matter.]
