Home is supposed to be a sanctuary. We all want to have a place where we can kick off our shoes after a long day of work, put our feet up, eat dinner with our families, throw parties, play in the yard with the kids, and spend time with the ones we love. It's supposed to be the one place you can relax and be yourself… but not if these strict HOAs have anything to do with it.
Homeowner's Associations are like the hall monitors of the adult world. Their whole job is to keep the neighborhoods looking clean and tidy. For example, if one person has decided to stop mowing their lawn and the grass is three feet high, a reasonable HOA could step in and dole out a fine. But there might be a good reason that person isn't mowing their lawn — maybe they're elderly or they broke their foot — and tossing a fine their way isn't going to help their situation at all. It's not very neighborly, is it?
Even so, there are plenty of HOAs in the world that are just thrilled to be handing out fines left and right for the most petty reasons, as you'll see in u/cools14's post below.
