For example, Santa Monica and West Hollywood have notoriously tenant-friendly rent control schemes that require very careful study.  

I'm not sure if having an HOA Deed is something you can claim tenancy rights to and if not you certainly can not lease or assign a right you do not have which would make the scheme fraud.The ethical issue is not just with a leasee.
