A lease does not supersed HOA rules, however, this is not your problem. YOU aren't a home owner, you didn't sign any HOA rules.
Your landlord was very irresponsible to rent a place in violation of his/her ownership rules. YOU don't have to move at all, you could let him simply suffer the consequences.
However, in the interest of good karma, I would suggest you make a deal with your landlord, along the lines of what wetdawgs is suggesting: 100% of your deposit returned, all of your moving expenses paid, plus a couple grand for your trouble. If your landlord doesn't agree, you have every right to stay for the duration of your lease.

I would say your best bet at this point is to consult a lawyer. Because a lease contract does not supersede association rules. A lawyer can tell you how best to handle this.

The best way would be to consult with an attorney.
But, you may consider what you'd like to see and propose it to the landlord before incurring legal costs to see how far you get. For example, full moving expenses (someone else packs, moves, unpacks for you), compensation for time finding a new place, they pay deposit on new place, you are refunded your full deposit on the current place, and an amount for inconvenience.
