A homeowner would find it more difficult to manage unexpected major repairs, such as a roof replacement or plumbing issues, compared to a renter.

Can a homeowners' association bar renters from HOA meetings?
Read your governing documents to determine whether or not your meetings are open meetings: the dictate may also be available in state law.

If the meetings are open meetings by law, and especially if a tenant holds an owner's proxy, there isn't any good reason to deny a renter a seat at an association meeting.
