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.

Can a renter sue the owner of a home if the renter is injured while living there even if the owner is not at fault nor are they negligent?

If you sue, you will not win. The tenant must show that the landlord knew of a dangerous or unsafe condition and failed to fix it in a reasonable amount of time. Since the landlord was not at fault or negligent, then there is no case.

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.
