Hawaii Retaliation protections
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.
