* ''Film/ThePurge1'': After a whole film in which the Sandin family home is besieged by a bunch of teenage Purgers, the climax of the film revolves around the Sandins’ neighbors, who are upset at the modifications the Sandins made to their house (expanding and reinforcing it) because it clashes with the looks of the neighborhood [[TallPoppySyndrome and believe it's the Sandins flaunting their wealth]], arriving to [[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou kill the Purgers and try to kill the Sandins themselves]]. The twist is {{Foreshadowed}} by one of the neighbors (the leader of the mob) talking to Mrs. Sandin about the aforementioned clash of the home styles and that the HOA may have an issue with it.
Added DiffLines:
* ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'': In one episode the apartment building's renters' association forces a new food truck that Leonard and Penny liked to move after Sheldon files a complaint.

* ''Film/GrowYourOwn'': An immigrant is fast-tracked by the government to an allotment, where others have waited more than ten years. The association is ruled by a chairman "Big John" with a rod of iron, and he tries to use their long-standing constitution to present a "united front" against this immigrant, and their first step is make sure they themselves follow the constitution to the letter. This requires all the sheds being painted in regulation red: one allotment holder flatly refuses to do this, and is overruled. This becomes complicated when the immigrant helps him to paint his shed.

* ''Series/BurnNotice'': In "[[Recap/BurnNoticeS3E15GoodIntentions Good Intentions]]", Sam buys time for Fiona to infiltrate the home office of the villain by pretending to be an inspector from the HOA: he first bugs the guy about not mowing his lawn often enough, then pretends to have found crabgrass to buy her the time needed to get out.

These are the people that keep the CutAndPasteSuburb cut-and-paste, and run StepfordSuburbia. {{Obnoxious Entitled Housewi|fe}}ves and/or {{Nosy Neighbor}}s are often members of these. Other prospective members include the ObstructiveBureaucrat, the GrumpyOldMan, and, if you're particularly unlucky, your SitcomArchNemesis. Also compare MoralGuardians, who are often similarly portrayed as petty and self-righteous.

* ''Film/{{Karen}}'': The titular Karen is president of the Homeowners Association and uses her position to attempt a racially-motivated eviction of Malik and Imani, because they're black. When that doesn't work, she escalates to terrifying them and [[spoiler:tries to kill them.]] However, at the end of the movie, [[spoiler:after Karen's death, Imani takes over the association and is shown making it a force for good.]]
Added DiffLines:
* ''Series/OnlyMurdersInTheBuilding'' has the board of the Arconia, which functions as a homeowners' association (though applying to an ApartmentBuildingOfHorrors).** The initial head of the board, Bunny Folger, is a petty tyrant and grumpy misanthrope who never smiles. The entire board shows complete disinterest in Tim Kono's suicide or murder. While Bunny has cause to evict Oliver in Season 1 (which she does), she's still extremely humorless about it. The board also votes to evict Mabel and Charles, though they haven't done anything wrong except publish the podcast (and have actually exposed crimes at the Arconia). Bunny then becomes the AssholeVictim for S2, though [[spoiler:she is revealed to have a softer side and a HiddenHeartOfGold.]] ** Bunny's replacement, Nina Lin, is a cruel and dismissive woman who throws Bunny off the board and apparently has severe anger issues, even punching Howard in the face at one point. The trio find it easy to believe that Nina and her husband killed Bunny all to modify the building in some way. [[spoiler:Although they are wrong. Nina genuinely mourns for and misses Bunny, didn't kill her, and is ''extremely'' upset that Bunny won't get to meet her baby.]]

Of course. After all, who else takes a ruler to every single blade of grass in your lawn to make sure than none of them are taller than the 2.25 inches allowed by neighborhood ordinance 14b? Who else hits you with a noise complaint for sneezing after 10pm? Who else sends ninjas to your house because you had the sheer audacity to paint it some color other than one of the 16 approved shades of beige?

Out of all the tyrants in fiction, who inspires the most hatred in the heroes who fight them? Is it the EvilOverlord? Of course not. Their evil may be systemic, but it lacks that personal touch. How about the SmallTownTyrant then? Getting closer, but heroes mostly only encounter them when they're WalkingTheEarth, making them less annoying than a villain back home. No, the real most hated tyrant is... the local homeowners' association?
