Neighbors—can’t live with them, can’t live without them. When it comes to those living around you, you’re never really sure what you’re getting when relocating. And even when you do get the chance to meet them, some first impressions—which reportedly take around33 millisecondsfor a person to form—might not be representative of reality.

The exact reasons the OP didn’t want to be a part of an HOA are not clear, but, according toThe Washington Post, Americans tend to have a love-hate relationship with them. Be that as it may, nowadays there are reportedlyover 370,000HOAs in the US, collectively representing more than 40 million households.

Another HOA thing people are not necessarily thrilled about is the organization’s rulemaking authority. The three rules HOA members seem to dislike the most relate to lawn appearance, parking regulations, and pet restrictions. However, there are some rules people wished were implemented, with the top ones relating to improved parking, improved noise regulations, and requirements for residents to clean up after their pets.

Loud noise is one of the most effective ways to drive your neighbor crazy
