What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida

Hi,
I opened a previous post about the HOA approving my lease and the prospective tenants; the HOA did not provide approval within the timeframe stated in the by-laws. The prospective tenants couldn’t continue to wait and have decided to not move forward with the lease; the approval was just provided on June 20th and the HOA had the paperwork on June 3rd. Now, I will lose the tenants that were supposed to move in on July 1st and the $1050.00 rent. What is the liability when the HOA doesn’t follow the by-laws, can I recover my lost rent until I can find a new tenant?

Note:
The prospective tenant paid $100 application fee, so this wasn’t someone just applying at different places.
The lease was not signed, since the prospective tenant needed to be approved, they didn’t want to sign a lease and be liable, if the approval was not provided.
