Hawaii Landlord Bundle: 3 Kits in One Download (Hawaii Landlord Kit, Hawaii Small Claims Kit, Eviction Case File Organizer)

Who it is for

Landlords and property managers with rentals in Hawaii: the state's rules, a small claims case for unpaid rent or damage, and an eviction case file if it comes to that.

Not the right fit if

Your rentals aren't in Hawaii, or you only need one of the kits. Not a property management or legal service.

Why it is different

• 3 kits for 30% less than buying them one by one; each keeps its own folder in the download.
• The Hawaii kits are built only from our Hawaii data files: Hawaii data files, checked November 2026 against 4 official pages, among them Hawaii DCCA Office of Consumer Protection: Residential Landlord-Tenant Code; Hawaii State Legislature: HRS Chapter 666, Landlord and Tenant (2017 compilation); Hawaii State Judiciary: Small Claims; Hawaii State Judiciary: Your Guide to Small Claims Court (brochure); Hawaii small claims data file, checked November 2026 against Hawaii State Judiciary: Small Claims; Hawaii State Judiciary: Your Guide to Small Claims Court (brochure).
• Eviction Case File Organizer covers every state; the Hawaii kits carry the state rules.

• Hawaii Small Claims Court Kit. In Hawaii, small claims (Small Claims Division of the District Court) cover claims up to $5,000. From the official page: Up to $5,000, not counting interest and costs. Where and how to file, from the official pages: Generally the division where the defendant resides; if the defendant lives outside the circuit, where the claim arose. Security deposit disputes: the defendant's division, or where the property is if the defendant lives out of state. Fees: Statement of Claim: $35 (may be waived by a judge for financial hardship); counterclaim: $10. From the Judiciary's small claims brochure; a jury trial demand needs a $200 deposit. Check current fees with the District Court. Service: The plaintiff arranges service: certified or registered mail (restricted delivery, return receipt), a civil process server, a non-party adult who files a return of service, or personal service with a signed acknowledgment. The defendant must be notified at least 48 hours before trial. Lawyers are allowed, with limits. Appeal: No right to appeal a Small Claims Division judgment. A party may ask the court to alter or set aside the judgment within 10 days after it is filed. How to use the kit, the 8 confirmed Hawaii facts at a glance, what we couldn't confirm (who can file, online filing) with the page to check, and a yes/no checklist: is the amount under $5,000, is it the right court, is there someone to serve and something to collect from.
