SB347 amends Hawaii landlord-tenant law to allow tenants to change rent due dates, limit late fees, and clarify security deposit rules.
SB347 amends Hawaii landlord-tenant law to allow tenants to change their rent due date by making a one-time payment. It limits late fees to five percent of the unpaid rent amount. The bill also clarifies that landlords can only require a security deposit of up to one month's rent, plus an amount for pet damages. If a tenant's rent increases, the landlord must give at least 30 days' notice for a corresponding increase in the security deposit. The bill specifies that security deposits can be used to cover damages from tenant defaults, unpaid rent, or pet damages.
