nope, hoa is totally differnt from this. here they have no right to tell what you do on your private property, if its condoe or detatched housing. joined ownership on detatched housing doesnt exist here btw. in both these cases you hold total right of the land and property you own . but it exist a thing called housing right union where you pay for the right to live in a condoe or house, there the union owns the property, but its controlled so hard legally the owner of the housing right is basicly the actual owner and even here they cannot enforce the same bs as an american hoa. absolutely no laws support their right to dictate lawn maintendance or cars parked in the driveway. its just completely laughable by all our housing and property laws that such a thing can even exist in usa.
