What to do if I signed a 1 year lease with a rental company for a condo and now I’ve received a letter from the HOA saying that I have 30 days to move?
No reason was given. I called the attorney from where the letter came from and they stated it’s because you have to buy the condos not rent them out. What are my options in this? Can they evict me? The HOA stated that they can’t even get in contact with the owner of the condo; he lives in Canada. What should I do?

Yes, they probably can evict you but at this point in time I would sit tight and wait and see what happens. I would also go and start a court proceeding to pay the rent in to court rahter than to the rental company (which is whom I am assuming you are paying rent to) or wait until you are served with papers and then bring in the rental company as a third party in the proceeding. I would ask the court that if you are forced to leave you be allowed a sufficient amount of time (30 days is too short) and that you be allowed to abate the rent (reduc it) to allow for moving expenses that you are going to incur. Good luck.
