Under HRS § 521-53, a Hawaii landlord must give the tenant at least two days' notice before entering the dwelling unit and may enter only during reasonable hours, except in an emergency or where notice is impracticable. The landlord may not abuse the right of access or use it to harass the tenant.
HRS § 521-53 permits a landlord to enter to inspect the premises, make necessary or agreed repairs, supply agreed services, or show the unit to prospective purchasers, mortgagees, or tenants, and the tenant 'shall not unreasonably withhold consent.' The notice rule is explicit: 'Except in case of emergency or where impracticable to do so, the landlord shall give the tenant at least two days notice of the landlord's intent to enter and shall enter only during reasonable hours.' The landlord 'shall not abuse this right of access nor use it to harass the tenant' and has no other right of entry except by court order, on apparent abandonment, or as permitted by HRS § 521-70(b).
No specific statutory penalty. A tenant subjected to unlawful or harassing entry may seek injunctive relief and damages; a tenant who unreasonably withholds consent may face remedies, including termination under HRS § 521-72.
