Can an association sue the renter?
In America, most anyone can sue most anyone else for most any reason. If you can find an attorney to take on your case, that is. In particular, an association may pursue an renter when the renter's occupancy in an association's community cannot be controlled by either the owner or the association, and the occupancy violates the governing documents in some substantial way. In advance of bringing any suit, however, the association is best advised to review the steps involved that are required to 'control' the occupancy of any resident. If you are a renter, you are subject to the provisions of the governing documents, and you can be in violation of them. When you are in violation, expect repercussions to follow.

Does a homeowner have to have homeowners insurance before they can rent their home out?
No, it's not required, but it's really, really important unless you have the funds in the bank for someone to sue you if they fall or if someone leaves an unattended candle lit. Renters insurance carried by just the renter will only cover the renter's belongings, it will not cover your home.
Can a homeowners' association bar renters from HOA meetings?
Read your governing documents to determine whether or not your meetings are open meetings: the dictate may also be available in state law. Unless the board is in executive session, it is unreasonable that the board would bar residents -- owners or tenants from an open board meeting. If the meetings are open meetings by law, and especially if a tenant holds an owner's proxy, there isn't any good reason to deny a renter a seat at an association meeting.
What are the differences between homeowners and renters insurance?
