SB155 aims to protect Hawaii renters from arbitrary evictions by setting eviction criteria and requiring relocation assistance or rent waivers.
SB155 amends Hawaii's rental laws to safeguard tenants from unjust evictions. It prohibits landlords from terminating tenancies without cause and outlines specific conditions under which no-fault evictions can occur. These include landlords planning to occupy the unit themselves or a family member, substantial repairs, sales, or changes in property use. The bill mandates that landlords provide tenants with relocation assistance or waive the final month's rent during no-fault evictions. It also ensures that tenants' rights under other laws remain unaffected.
