'Hardship lease agreement' sounds like language that comes from a rental cap amendment, and assumes that your association has reached the cap, yet you must rent your property. Given those assumptions, you can petition the association for an exception, with specifics as to the term of the lease.

The documentation you provide can be used by the association to support queries from lenders and insurers, who may resist doing business with the association given its excess rentals.

If the homeowners association forecloses on a property, the foreclosure process typically involves a sale of the property.
