Hawaii Source of income discrimination
Can a landlord refuse Section 8 or other source of income in Hawaii?
Yes. Hawaii bars landlords from refusing to rent to, discouraging, or setting different terms for a person because they take part in a Section 8 housing choice voucher or permanent supportive housing program, including in ads. Landlords may still verify income and creditworthiness, and owners of four or fewer units in Hawaii are generally exempt (HRS § 368F-3).
