Maybe not in the US but when we were in Denmark this past summer we
visited two rental communities.  One VERY large one where the residents
did NOT exercise any control over who was allowed to move in.  The
other, a much smaller 18 units (I think)DID have control over accepting
or rejecting new residents.  The latter one worked a lot better
according to the hosts who showed us around the communities.
