Boardwalk Apartments Ends Overnight Hookups, Late Night Studying With Guests
Beyond UCF, Housing — By Cliff Jett on February 10, 2010 at 4:11 pmDear Residents,
I would like to take a moment to clarify the email that was sent out last night. There seems to be a misunderstanding of that email. The point of it was to notify everyone that should we receive complaints about guests in the apartment we will have to implement our policy. In your rules and regulations under the sections GUESTS, it states, “We welcome your guests, friends, and family members to our community. Remember to inform them of our parking policies and community rules, Resident is solely responsible for their guests and any damage done to the property by themselves or their guests. No overnight guests will be permitted. Because of the nature of the apartments, it is understood overnight guests are expressly prohibited. “ There is a difference in guests and overnight guests.
A notice was also sent out on August 12, 2009 with the same information and I was not aware that so many questions were still unanswered about it. Our intention is not to go searching for guest or visitors or intrude your personal lives, however again if there are complaints in regards to your guests I do have to address them… just as if you called about your sink leaking. We will be using this policy for those residents that choose not to adhere to our rules. Unfortunately, some residents are unable to resolve issues with their roommates, so it may become necessary for Boardwalk to get involved and this was what the email was referring to. I’d prefer if you were able to resolve it in your home, but I’m always available to any of my residents if you need me.
There has also been a concern about the towing policy. If a visitor parks in a non-visitor spot, anyone parks in the handicapped space without proper tags, or if someone is double parked we do have the right to tow. This information is still the same as before.
We apologize if you were upset about this information, however we thought it would be best to let everyone know in advance and not wait until there was an issue. We wouldn’t want you to feel like we were not being upfront with you. We want you all to enjoy living here at Boardwalk and please feel free to email me personally or call me so I can explain further if have more questions.

I lived in Boardwalk for two years and thought it was the most ridiculous ripoff of money I have wasted. 560 a month (furnished, but with flimsy cheap furniture), badly kept records (2 times getting an eviction notice when i had paid on the first), and slow response to work orders. I felt like I was still in a dorm and not an adult whatsoever. This whole “no overnight guests” thing just intensifies the bad taste that place gives me. I have a long distance relationship, and if my boyfriend had to get a hotel room when he flew in, I would be raising some serious hell. I’m a 22 year old ADULT. If it were over a 5 day period or so, I totally agree with the rule. You shouldn’t have someone else living with you not on the lease.
I hope you all who live in boardwalk realize that they are making about 2200 a month per 4 a small bedroom apartment and controlling you like mice. You can rent a 4 bedroom HOUSE for 1600 or 1700 easily. Just sayin.
its pretty unbelievable people are agreeing with this. its completely ridiculous…it has to be the apartment complex employees logging on and posting those comments…its going to be funny to see these apartments bankrupt next year…or have to drop there rent hundreds of dollars a month.
For those ppl who said it’s in ur lease stop complaining. Or that the boardwalk residents should just be adults, My rebuttal is that if u going to hold the lease up and pick apart line by line then u have to do so for both sides of the table. U cant expect the residents to abide by the lease when Boardwalk doesn’t. Why is the front gate always broken. Why dont the phones not work. I remember when the hot tub was broken for an extended period of time. Boardwalk wants to enforce the rules that are convenient to them, but they are not holding up their end of the lease when it comes to spending money to fix stuff.
they say “no crashing on the couch, etc” but what about someone who is drunk? Are they supposed to just leave and get killed in a car wreck? i bet boardwalk would tell them they shouldn’t have gone out and had fun. this is absolutely absurd!
How will they even know if extra people are there?!?!? I mean, they may be able to check the guest parking, but it’s not like they are going to knock on people’s doors every night and check the rooms. As long as your roommates don’t say anything, the office would never know.
The rule is in the lease. You signed the lease. You follow the rule. End of conversation.
YOU’RE IN COLLEGE. READ WHAT YOU SIGN!
I just want to say, I actually like Boardwalk a lot. But this rule is ridiculous. I’ve lived here for the past year and a half and just renewed with two of my roommates for the next year. I have no trouble parking whatsoever and my room is clean and nice enough. But if my significant other comes to visit, they’re sleeping over. Period. I pay for my room and I’ll do what I want in it. They’ve tried to say that we’ll only get in trouble if someone reports us, but that doesn’t take it far enough. They need to drop this stupid rule altogether.
I don’t like these types of useless regulations on adults. They need to make sure this stuff is highlighted.
On the other hand, there does need to be regulations that say that guest can’t be over for more than a specific number of days without a roommate’s approval. I knew somebody who’s boyfriend lived with them for an entire year at Pegasus landings. He wasn’t just staying over he was living with them. There were 5 people in a 4/4 and the other girls were mad but were afraid to say something to keep the peace.
Stupid regulations that call for curfews on adults are absurd though.
Wow! this is ridiculous! We are adults if we want to have people overnight we can. Sure sometimes roommates are annoying sometimes, but its life. This is a normal apartment not a dorm. This rule should go. It is reasons like this I left student housing. RUN NOW WHILE YOU STILL CAN!
this is the most absurd rule that i have ever heard of!!! i was also looking to live at the boardwalk but now will look somewhere else! I have heard from more than a hand full of residents that this place has horrible parking, and overall sucks!!! i will not move here!
Great article! Maybe this will push Boardwalk to change this absurd policy.
Every lease agreement seems to have some clauses that are absurd but typically not enforced. When I signed at Northgate I read the whole contract through and found some gems (such as not playing your phonograph too loud, and a max of 10 people in an apartment, including residents, at once), though none as bad as this.
Wow, really? That is just stupid. That place will lose many people who were thinking about leasing there.
I was deciding between there and another place when I heard about this. Decision made.
