Landlord's Recovery of Possession

The landlord may bring a summary proceeding for recovery of the possession of the dwelling unit at any time during the first sixty days of holdover. The tenant may be liable to the landlord for a sum not to exceed twice the monthly rent under the previous rental agreement, computed and prorated on a daily basis, for each day the tenant remains in possession. (HRS § 521-71) If the tenant breaches any rule authorized under Hawaii law, the landlord may notify the tenant in writing of the tenant's breach. If the breach complained of continues or recurs after the date specified in the notice, the landlord may bring a summary proceeding for possession within thirty days after such continued or recurring breach. (HRS § 521-72)
