I don't. When you move into a neighborhood you sign documents agreeing to the rules. If you don't like the rules, don't move into the neighborhood. Simple. The rules are in place to improve the value of the neighborhood to the property owners and are generally in place to give everyone a better overall living experience. If you don't like a rule, you can see if everyone else wants to change it at your next hoa meeting, but you don't have to be a petty baby about it.

When you bought your house, you signed up for the rules that include putting away the trash cans. The rules also apply to your house.

Or people who don't want their property values brought down because their neighbors don't keep their property up like they should. It's peoplewho want to live in a nice community. If you don't own a home you wouldn't understand.

Your visible trash cans, plus overflow, makes your property, and our street look cluttered!! Today it's trash cans, in a few weeks it'll be a broken washing machine languishing on the side of the house. I always keep my trash cans in the backyard.

What does HOA stand for? Sorry for the question, I'm from Australia so never heard of it but it sounds like a nightmare of controllers :O Awful

I CAN. You have a right to enjoy your property how you see fit. I also have an equal right not to be forced to look at a disaster every day.

The US, but only in certain suburban areas.

It is completely voluntary to buy a house in a community that has a Homeowners Association that collectively determines the look of the neighborhood.

The USA, of course. But why would my one want an HOA?

It has to be in the bylaws in order to enforce it. I live in a HOA and hate it. But, the housing market..... We didn't know our house was an HOA till we bought it. It is my dream home. When my 4th is done in HS we are going to sell my dream house for one in the country. We can't put up any flag outside that isn't an American flag. There is a non-binary flag INSIDE hanging in my window. Rainbow lights. Rainbows are also fun and are everywhere. I am the oldest and only girl. I know how to annoy people without it being illegal.

Amazing

I can certainly relate to that! The HOA in our community has been taking pictures for a while! As much as we disagree with certain things, we try to adhere to the rules. However, I notice other neighbors are breaking/ignoring he rules, and it seems to be ok. I wonder if these are HOA board members and they get away with things because of that.
