I’m purchasing a foreclosure (cash) and the association has been quite uncooperative so far. I would like to know if they can deny my application based on lack of credit history (I’m a foreigner).

You should speak with an attorney in the area to help move the sale along and to discuss of the State of Florida has codified any laws that are equivalent to the State of California's Unruh Act, which is a Civil Rights compliance statute that encompasses many issues. Basically the act treats HOA's as business entities and finds that they can not discriminate bsed upon the "typical" discrimination bases: race, color, age, etc. but also national origin. Good luck.
