What to do about criminal neighbor?


Question:

We have a tenant who has a son who was a minor when the condo background check was done - therefore his background was not checked. He is now over 18 - and has had 3 recent police altercations right at the condos. He was caught trying to break and enter owner cars. Turns out this young man has a history of drug and B&E offenses and the police locked hi up for 3 weeks in a drug rehab. His Mom was advised that due to his criminal activity - he could not return to live there. She agreed. Well he is back - and still creating a frightening situation for neighboring owners . Our rules and regs clearly state that the association can terminate a lease when there is criminal activity... however the Mom is the lease holder and not a criminal. This is Florida - what options do we as the Board have to correct this problem? I almost feel like Fair Housing regs make our rules and regs null and void. Also Can we now require a background check on this minor who has now turned 18?
