Did you report this to the cops as breaking and entering or squatting? Hopefully, the first.
Did you give the police ALL the details such as why you're gone and how long?
Did you tell the cops in no uncertain terms you want these people out?
What did they say they would do?
Would your neighbor or someone else on island be willing to act as your agent?
If the cops won't do their job, and sometimes they won't, there is a form they can email you which you can use to designate an agent. The agent then has to go the police with the form, which I suggest be notarized. That usually gets things going.
This all sounds like good advice.
Does anybody know if Hawaii County police will do evictions currently? I understand that landlord evictions are not like trespassing/squatter issues (apples/oranges) but last I researched it, a landlord on the BI who needed an eviction had to privately hire officers from Maui to do it, and the cost was over $10k after paying for travel, per diem, wages, etc.
