Bad caretaker, advise welcomed

[terracore]

This is a question for someone who has more knowledge than I have on the subject.  We know that in a landlord-tenant agreement the landlord has very limited options, and those options are expensive.  But is a caretaker, having paid no money and having no lease agreement, treated the same as a tenant under the law?

AFAIK Hawaii law allows oral contracts to establish tenancy.  If no specific term is agreed upon, the tenancy is typically considered month-to-month. Terminating a month-to-month tenancy requires the landlord to provide at least 45 days' notice, and the tenant must give 28 days' notice if they wish to leave.
