California resident gives entitled HOA 39 days to learn the law about green grass: 'State law is greater than HOA fantasy rules'

When it comes to battling HOAs, you're going to have to dig into the fine print. 

If you've ever lived in HOA-ruled territory, you probably know this all too well. HOAs aren't exactly beloved organizations in most parts of America. They're known for being petty little tyrants, groups full of Karens, who care about things like… bringing your trash cans in exactly on time, or making sure you never park your car in the street in front of your own house, or making sure your home is the exact right shade of brown to match all the other homes. In theory, HOAs are supposed to enforce rules that really matter… but the reality is that they love to force huge fines upon everyday people for some really innocuous things. 

When HOAs get involved with lawn care, it really grinds my gears. Oftentimes, if someone's lawn is too long, you may want to go talk to that person before you tattle to the HOA. Maybe their mower is broken, and you could offer them yours, or maybe the person who usually handles lawn care is sick, and they need some extra help around the house. What won't help is burdening that family with like, $400 a week in fines! Now, their lawn is untrimmed, and they've got to figure out how to pay up to these HOA ghouls. 

Check out the way that this person handled their HOA's lawn care suggestions! It's quite satisfying, and commenters loved it, too.
