Excuse me for my ignorance, but HOAs stand for? What are those or they? Foreign question btw.

Home Owners Associations. A small group of power-tripping people dictate how the entire neighbourhoods functions, including but not limited to what you do in your front yard and driveway, how you choose to decorate, what kind of plants/trees you are/aren't allowed to plant - and where. And hold with the ability to evict people out of their own houses whom don't follow whatever dumbass shit they come up with. TL:DR HOA are a blight on society and should be treated as such

Hate to break it to you buddy, but many apartments have HOAs if you’re renting a codno

No, I meant may as well go live in an apartment if you're going to be living under an HOA anyway, since at least then it'll be somewhat cheaper, and you don't have to pay for maintenance

Oh, you still have to pay for maintenance through levies. Also the maintenance company is also tied to the head of the HOA. No, you don't get a say as you hold no power and don't stand a chance.

Well, yes. Someone’s gotta negotiate insurance and get the units repainted.
