Recently our off-island friend had the same situation. So I contacted the County Prosecutor to ask for advice. He said to assemble the following information then file a police report:

Homeowner's name
Address of Hawaii house being occupied
Homeowner's mainland address
Homeowner's last stay in Hawaii
Date you noticed it was occupied with the squatters
Home furnishings (ex: sofa, bed, fridge, dining table, cd player, kitchen accessories, etc.)



*Note that the police might also want to know when the previous renters left
*Also might want to check to see if the squatters changed the electric or water bills to their names.

Anyway, we called the police and they came to our home where we filed a report. They went immediately to the property only to find it empty. So they spoke with the neighbors and asked them to call if the squatters returned. Well, the story has a happy ending. Two days later the neighbors were kind enough to call when the squatters returned. The police showed up and arrested the occupants (one of whom, turns out, was wanted for burglaries around Puna).

No lawyers were needed. Just some information and patience.

Best of luck!

So, this might happen to my neighbor's house! The house has been "abandoned" for at least two years and no one has done yard work on the place. My neighbors and I have been concerned that squatters could move in.

I was working out in the yard on this gorgeous day and a car full of people stopped to ask me if the house next door was abandoned. They told me if they moved in, they would clean up the place!
Thanks to Punaweb, I can get the info I need and notify the owners about this possible invasion of their home. []
