Hawaii Landlord/Tenant Law: The Facts

Get Help With Landlord/Tenant Issues From a Big Island Real Estate Lawyer

Disputes between landlords and tenants are not only frustrating, but they can also be a waste of time and money. Sometimes these issues can be solved outside of a courtroom. But sometimes more serious disagreements must go to litigation.

Whether you're a tenant who needs to exercise your tenant rights, or a landlord whose tenant is breaking the lease, or your house rules, having an experienced real estate attorney on your side can bring you relief sooner rather than later. Barbara L. Franklin deftly handles landlord/tenant disputes on the Big Island and is ready to help you today. She works to settle disagreements out of court, but will aggressively take your side in the courtroom if necessary.

Hawaii Landlord/Tenant Law: The Facts

Landlord and tenant disputes take many forms. Here are just a few examples.

  • Property damage
  • Rent disputes
  • Security deposits
  • Eviction
  • Repair and maintenance
  • Lease renewal

The key to avoiding these kinds of arguments is a detailed and watertight lease agreement. However, even with an agreed-upon lease, sometimes problems will arise.

You don't need to spend weeks or months in a back-and-forth struggle trying to settle these disputes on your own. Drawing them out can cause the issue to grow out of control and cause even more problems. Hiring a Hawaii Island real estate attorney can help end your tenant/landlord disputes in a civil manner. Often, both the landlord and the tenant are unaware of their rights.

Many times, you can find solutions outside of the courtroom, saving time and money. Contact a lawyer today to find out about your options.
