I received a call today from a residential landlord who received notice from his HOA’s property manager that the HOA would not give approval of a lease renewal citing, albeit vaguely, some “issues” with the tenant. There are no specifics. The HOA docs do not address the grounds for refusal to approve a lease or provide any measure to determine whether an HOA can arbitrarily choose not to approve a lease. It seems that the owner has a right—to lease—but that this right, which includes a financial interest, can be terminated by the HOA. </span></div><div class="yiv0132063802MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;"> </span></div><div class="yiv0132063802MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;">Can anyone opine on whether an owner has any rights to question the HOA’s decision?
