    It depends on the HOA's recorded rules, which can limit leasing, so read them first. Texas law doesn't let an HOA require its approval of your tenant or demand the tenant's credit report or application. I lease out a home in Melissa myself and help owners price, market and lease theirs. I find tenants; I don't manage property.
