SB306 amends Hawaii's landlord-tenant code to protect tenants from retaliatory evictions and ensure habitable living conditions. The bill requires landlords to inventory the premises and provide a written record to tenants before occupancy.

Additionally, it provides remedies for unlawful retaliatory evictions, ensuring tenants can recover damages.
