Can an HOA require the owner to provide a copy of a lease if they are renting out their house?

We have been renting out our house for the past 4 years. Then 2 years ago the community passed some “Rules and Regulations” separate from the Covenant that states we must provide them a copy of a lease if we are renting out the house. The covenant merely sates that we provide a name of the tenant and duration of tenancy. I think providing a copy of my lease is an invasion of privacy. Can I withhold my lease?
