If you have a dog

Tenants in Hawaii have a lot of tenant rights vs most of the states, and the state handbook outlines both the landlord and tenants rights & obligations.

Pages 17, 18, 19 cover this scenario - for the eviction process to begin (actually here it s a court case, the landlord must sue for possession), there may be a 10 day prior notice for correction needed, or, "The landlord may sue immediately to evict the tenant and need not give the tenant time to correct a rule violation when:
A. A tenant violates state or county laws relating to health and safety;
B. A tenant or the tenant's friend or family member purposely destroys or extensively damages the rental unit or any part of the premises;
C. The breaking of a house rule causes or threatens to cause injury to a person."
