SB306 aims to protect tenants from wrongful evictions and retaliatory practices by landlords.
SB306 amends the Hawaii landlord-tenant code to safeguard tenants from evictions when the habitability of the premises is significantly impaired. It prohibits landlords from recovering possession of a dwelling unit if the habitability is impaired and caps a tenant's liability for rent under such conditions. The bill also provides remedies for unlawful retaliatory evictions, ensuring tenants cannot be evicted for requesting repairs or complaining about health or safety code violations.
