They could form an association with very limited authority if all the lessees provided their written consent. Future lessees would not be subject to its authority unless they also consent in writing.

Nobody. Homeowners Insurance covers Homes not land.
No, your homeowners insurance does not cover tenants nor any of their property or liabilities. actually, the presence of tenants without the presence of an owner can void all coverage and nullify the homeowners insurance policy. If the occupancy status of your home changes, contact your agent. Leased homes require landlords insurance. Vacant homes require a vacant property policy.
Homeowners Associations support their communities and set up rules for the neighborhood such as what colors the homes may be and how much decorations are allowed on front lawns to keep their neighborhood looking nice.
A condo or townhouse Homeowners' Association (HOA) governs a group of condos, wherein the association is responsible for the maintenance of the outside of the building(s), landscaping, and utilities, in addition to maintaining common areas and enforcement of the CC&Rs. This is because the properties being governed are condos and not houses. A planned unit development (PUD) HOA is responsible for ensuring compliance with the CC&Rs of the PUD and upkeep of any common areas in the PUD. However, individual owners maintain their homes and land, as each lot in the PUD is individually owned.
A domestic energy assessor is the key part to helping homeowners, home buyers, and tenants. They visit homes to let owners know about the energy efficiency of their homes.

Usually, there is no limit so that the association can file a lien whenever it becomes necessary. Depending on state laws and regulations, they can and do put liens on homes where the owners have disregarded rules (fines), and not paid assessments that homeowners owe for the common expenses required to operate the community. In order to release the lien, the owner must pay the monies owed, including attorneys fees and filing costs associated with expenses incurred by the association to file the lien.

Typically, home owner associations are not the home owners: individuals own homes within home owner associations.It is reasonable that a home owners association require background checks on potential tenants, with the receipt for the work copied for the association's records. The association is not privy to the contents of the task.If you intend to purchase a home covered by the association, the association probably cannot discriminate against your purchase -- a review of their governing documents by an association-savvy attorney or the ACLU would be in order.If you believe that you have been discriminated against in an illegal way, you can ask an attorney to help you establish and potentially exert your rights.
