Hawaii Retaliation protections

Last reviewed 2026-10-23

Is landlord retaliation illegal in Hawaii?

While the tenant keeps paying rent, the landlord may not evict, force the tenant out, raise rent or cut services after the tenant makes a good-faith complaint to a government agency or the landlord about health-law or chapter violations, or after an agency files a violation notice.
