Can a HOA stop you from renting out your home?

Read your governing documents and look for a rental cap.

If there is a rental cap, and the maximum percentage of homes is already rented, your request to rent may be placed on a waiting list, and you must wait until there is an 'opening' in the rental cap percentage before you can rent your home.

If there is no rental cap, there may -- or may not -- be other restrictions written into your governing documents.
