Hawaii HB1097 modifies public housing eviction procedures, including the handling of tenant belongings and property disposal.

Hawaii HB1097 amends public housing eviction laws by changing the handling of tenant belongings and property disposal. Upon eviction, the household goods and personal effects of the tenant and any incidental users may be removed and stored by the housing authority. The authority can claim a lien on the stored property for moving and storage expenses and may sell or dispose of the property if unclaimed after fourteen days. The bill also repeals certain existing statutory material and takes effect upon approval.
