Illegal Entry into the Rental Property Generally, these instances relate to scheduled inspections, maintenance, or emergency repairs. However, when a landlord attempts to do an excessive amount of inspections or does not provide the tenant with ample notice of intent to enter, tenants can claim landlord harassment.

Illegal landlord actions include discrimination, failing to provide necessary repairs or maintenance, unlawful eviction, and violating tenants' privacy rights.

Every lease is different, and any number of covenants and promises may be expressly stated or implied in a residential or commercial lease. For example: Quiet Enjoyment and Possession ? The landlord may not interfere with the tenant's right to exclusive possession and control of the premises.

In Hawaii, a landlord cannot sell, give away, or throw out a tenant's abandoned property without providing a tenant a notice and then wait for fifteen days. (See: Hawaii Revised Statutes § 521-56.) Hawaii forbids landlords from taking the law into their own hands.

The rental agreement is an official contract entered between the tenant and owner of a property. Tenant is the person who wishes to take temporary possession of the owner's property by paying the rental amount. The tenant can stay/use the property of the owner for the time mentioned in the rental agreement.
