Hawaii SB2396 mandates absentee owners and landlords to designate an on-island agent for rental units.
Hawaii SB2396 amends the state's rental laws to require absentee owners and landlords to designate an on-island agent for rental units. This agent must be a resident of the island where the rental unit is located and must be listed on the rental agreement. The Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs will maintain a registry of these agents. Failure to comply with these requirements results in penalties, including fines and liability for tenants. The bill also mandates that time share associations maintain records of on-island agents for absentee owners.
