If a landlord and tenant are unable to resolve their disagreement(s), they may need legal assistance. However, many times, parties are able to settle their disputes without the use of attorneys, and the added expense of time and resources. Mediation may be an option. Below, you will find a link to the Hawai'i State Judiciary - Self-Help - Landlord-Tenant Claims website that contains information on getting legal help, and mediation. You can also click on the links below to learn more about mediation, also known as, "alternative dispute resolution," or to find a mediation center on your island.
