A group of more than 50 University of Louisiana Lafayette students were quickly evicted from their Miramar Beach, Florida vacation rental after property managers and local law enforcement discovered the home was severely overcrowded and trashed, with reports of excessive noise and suspected underage drinking.

Why it matters

This incident highlights Florida's crackdown on unruly spring break behavior, with state and local officials implementing stricter policies and increased law enforcement presence to curb the type of large, unmanaged gatherings that have overwhelmed coastal communities in recent years.

The details

The trouble started almost immediately after the group of Louisiana students arrived, with neighbors reporting excessive noise and suspected underage drinking. When property managers performed a walk-through of the home, they found it severely overcrowded and in poor condition, leading them to immediately evict the group rather than issue a warning.

  • The students arrived at the Miramar Beach rental on April 7, 2026.
  • Noise complaints and calls about underage drinking prompted a visit from the property management company on April 8, 2026.
  • The property was found to be severely overcrowded and trashed, leading to an immediate eviction on April 8, 2026.
