There is a fairly long notice period in Hawaii that must be given if a tenant is on a month to month lease, this would include a verbal agreement, 45 or 90 days I think. If someone has a written and signed year lease it is very hard to get them out early unless they are breaking the terms of the lease.
Report the exploitation, anyone can report suspected elder abuse or exploitation, if someone came around to investigate the situation I would guess the "tenant" would choose to leave pretty darn quick. No one wants to be scrutinized as a possible elder abuser, and living in an elder's home and refusing to leave would certainly count as exploitation under the elder abuse and exploitation laws. Hawaii's laws are written in favor of renters, but the elder abuse and exploitation laws are nothing to sneeze at, kupuna are valued here and that is reflected in the laws.
