GUEST RULE at Coral Point Condo Fort Lauderdale, yes you heard right, a new f***ing rule!

Less than two weeks after the ludicrous SMOKING RULE, the Coral Point Fort Lauderdale Condo Association introduces an equally abusive and mostly unnecessary GUEST RULE.

If this trend goes on, Coral Point Condo, a building of merely 23 units, maybe 50 residents at most, probably less considering the seemingly growing number of empty units, will soon have more rules and regulations than residents.

Located 1400 NE 54th Street in Fort Lauderdale, FL 33334 Coral Point Condo is a place where you can no longer welcome friends and family without previously filling up a guest application form, and do not expect them to be able to stay that long, maximum fourteen days over a ninety days period.

Details of the GUEST RULE at Coral Point Condo Fort Lauderdale

Sure 14 days over a 90 days period seems an already-long-enough time period for your mother-in-law to be staying over. But for out-of-town guests, our friends, our family members who may want to visit us in sunny Florida, two weeks will now be the limit and we guess the Condo Association will take them back to the airport after 14 days, hopefully not in cattle freight wagons, as it would really be of bad taste.  

While such a rule may find justification in a very large complex of several hundred units, where amenities may be threatened by overcrowding, really we find that at Coral Point Condo, a rather small building of two dozens units, this risk is non existent.

Besides the ludicrous $100/day fine mentioned in point h., a particular point deserves attention:

f. Guests may not use the pool or pool area unless accompanied by the Unit Owner or approved Tenant of the Unit.

So according to point f. you are supposed to babysit your guest(s) at the pool. Say your 49-year-old sister and brother-in-law come to visit because, you know, they were begging to come over have a good time in North Korea, sorry Florida. "Well Sis, it's just like the dog, you need to wait for my return from work [you know gotta work to pay mortgage / HOAs / rent / potential fines by Coral Point Condo Association] before going to take a dip in the pool, that's the way it is here at Coral Point Condo Fort Lauderdale." This is plain insane! Maybe for kids and teens under 16 this could be justified, but for ALL guests, you got to be kidding. Maybe in a HUGE complex of hundreds of units where some people might take advantage of the anonymity offered by the crowd to misbehave, but again here we are talking about a condo of 23 units with at least 25% of them being unoccupied most of the time.

To think we would need such drastic rules for such a small condo is the perfect illustration of the condo fascism we denounce in this blog. Whoever is writing this crap, and this has to be some or all of those in charge here at Coral Point Condo Fort Lauderdale, you are wasting your talent in our little building and should be running the show at camp 22 of the Hoeryong concentration camp in North Korea, see here Wikipedia page.  

With numerous empty units (at time of publishing we can think of at least five units: 103, 106, 107, 204 and 208 and maybe more) and a staggering increase in ludicrous rules and regulations on an almost weekly basis, we believe the Coral Point Fort Lauderdale Condo Association will soon have to worry more about counting its residents rather than occasional guests.

As usual we encourage you to voice your opinion in the comments section below. Do you find this sudden and unexpected GUEST RULE at Coral Point Condo necessary? Do you agree with the Coral Point Association that 14 days is a long-enough-period for our friends and family members to be staying over?
