Bill Summary

Requires the Office of Consumer Protection to periodically publish an accessible, multilingual notice of tenant rights. Effective 7/1/2050. (SD1)

AI Summary

This bill requires the Office of Consumer Protection to create, maintain, and regularly update a notice summarizing tenant rights under Hawaii's residential landlord-tenant laws and other relevant federal and state laws, with the goal of helping renters understand their protections and resources, especially given the state's housing crisis where many residents are "rent burdened" (meaning they spend over 30% of their income on rent). This notice must be available in both print and electronic formats, translated into the most common languages spoken in Hawaii, and accessible to individuals with disabilities, and it will be reviewed and updated at least annually or as needed to reflect legal changes, with the law taking effect on July 1, 2050.
