A Hawaii Writ of Possession is a court order that grants an immediate right of possession of a property, usually a rental property, to either a landlord or a tenant. This writ is used to enforce a judgment of eviction and is issued by a court when a tenant has failed to comply with a court order to vacate a property. There are two types of Writ of Possession in Hawaii: Residential and Commercial. The Residential Writ of Possession is used when a tenant has failed to comply with a court order to vacate a residential property, such as a house or apartment. The Commercial Writ of Possession is used when a tenant has failed to comply with a court order to vacate a commercial property, such as an office building or retail space. Both types of Writ of Possession require the tenant to vacate the property within the time period stated in the court order, or face further legal action.
