'I just [got] a bill for over $20,000 in fines': Top HOA Horror Stories of the Week (December 14, 2023)

The last thing HOAs seem to do on a daily basis is provide structure and order to a neighborhood. Instead, they are a magnet for that person from high school who would correct the teacher, interrupt people in the classroom, and snitch on everyone without proof or context. This was the kind of person who made more enemies than friends, and as it turns out, they haven't changed in the slightest years down the road. Instead, they have just become more obnoxious and they're an annoying parent now rather than being an annoying child. And of course, they have joined their local HOA. Because bossing your kids around is not enough. People like this have to boss everyone else around too.

These HOA horror stories were compiled from Reddit's r/f***HOA subreddit, a beautiful sanctuary for enraged and grieving residents caught in the evil grasp of their homeowner's associations. Keep scrolling below for these infuriating stories. For more, check out this list of top choosing beggars of the year.
