HOAs suck

By really? - This FML is from back in 2015 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I got a notice from the housing association, if I don't water my lawn I will be charged a $150 fine. Yet if I do water my lawn the city with charge me a $150 fine because of the drought. FML

Report the housing association to the city? They probably can't be telling people to do that right now.

Write them a letter telling them that you will water your lawn when they give you something in writing stating that they will pay a fine if you receive one from the city

Report the housing association, they are probably breaking the law. If that fails to get anywhere, I'd water my law. If I'd have to pay $150 either way, I'd rather have a nice lawn.

Buy bottled water, use that to water your lawn

Don't water and tell the housing association that if they fine you, you'll report them to the city.

If you live in California it's illegal for your HOA to fine you for not watering your garden and you can report them and get them fined.

by some grass spray paint... its a real thing I'm not lying

People get their lawn painted, why don't you try that? It lasts for a few months I believe
