I would like to talk to the agent selling?

I'm from the HOA and I wanted to make sure that this sale is to a new homeowner. I'm concerned about someone renting out the property. Is there an agent who can find out this information?

Give a call to the listing agent or you can wait until closing and there is a new application in for the property. Unless your HOA bylaws state no investors, I would imagine there is not much that you can do in this regard. Keith Jean-Pierre Managing Principal The Dapper Agents Operations In: NY, NJ, FL & CA

Contacting the listing agent directly is straightforward; their contact information is on the MLS listing, the yard sign, and usually the brokerage website. In Crystal River, Citrus County, Florida, listing agents are legally permitted to speak with unrepresented buyers about the property, though they have a fiduciary duty to the seller and cannot advocate for your interests the way a buyer agent would. Before that conversation, understand the distinction between a listing agent who practices single agency (representing only the seller) and one operating as a transaction broker (a neutral facilitator), because Florida law allows both and the difference affects what advice you can expect. If you are seriously interested in the property, having your own agent contact the listing agent on your behalf creates a cleaner negotiating structure and ensures someone is reviewing the contract terms with your interests in mind. Many buyers assume eliminating a buyer agent saves money, but in most Florida transactions the seller has already contractually agreed to the total commission structure. Knowing who represents whom before you start talking protects you from making uninformed disclosures that could weaken your negotiating position. Kevin Neely & Kaitlynd Robbins | K2 Sells

The HOA cannot deny the next homeowner unless there is a valid reason supported by the bylaws. If any property can be rented as long as it complies with the HOA and local laws. Be careful, as this can get you and the HOA in unwanted litigation. You may be violating the rights of that buyer.
