Optional Information

State/Country relating to Question: Hawaii

Accepted Answer

No, Tenant does not have that right, pursuant to Hawaii Revised Statutes Chapter 521 (the Residential Landlord Tenant Code) Section 53, the tenant must allow the landlord reasonable entry into the unit to inspect, make repairs, and show the dwelling to prospective purchasers and tenants. The landlord, except in emergencies, shall give the tenant at least two days' notice and shall enter only during reasonable hours. In the event that the Tenant refuses and you cannot show the apartment until the tenant vacates the premises, you can sue her in small claims court for one month of rent to make up for the loss of time in not showing the place while she lived there. GOOD LUCK. Please press the GREEN ACCEPT BUTTON so that I will receive credit for my time. A BONUS & FEEDBACK ARE ALWAYS APPRECIATED. THANK YOU!
