Description

Unlawful entry is illegal entry upon lands or structures without force but by means of fraud or other willful wrong. It is closely related to housebreaking. But unlike housebreaking, the intent to commit an offense within the place entered is not needed for this offense. The basis of proof for this offense is that the entry was unlawful and that the conduct of the accused was contrary to good order and discipline.


Unlawful detention means keeping in custody unlawfully. Under criminal law it means keeping or confining a person in custody without any lawful reason. In civil law it is keeping in custody real property to which one is not entitled. A person is guilty of unlawful detention of real property when entry is made wrongfully without any right or title into any vacant or unoccupied lands tenements or other possessions.

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.

A Motion to Quash Service is filed when you say the landlord didn't serve the Summons and Complaint properly. If you win, the landlord has to re-serve the Summons and Complaint. If the landlord wins, you'll have to file an Answer to the Complaint right away.

For example, if a landlord successfully proves their case in court and obtains a judgment for possession, they can legally regain control of the property. The court may also award the landlord compensation for any unpaid rent or other damages incurred during the eviction process.

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

After the Writ of Execution has been served to the tenants, they will be given a grace period of 5 days to vacate the property. The sheriff will execute the eviction and forcibly remove them if they remain in the property after the grace period given to them.

A Demurrer is filed by the tenant to say the Complaint doesn't include all the facts or legal requirements to prove they should be evicted. A Demurrer can delay the case by a few weeks, and if the tenant wins, you might have to start the case all over or even have to give the tenant a new Notice.

Section 4024 of the CARES Act prohibits landlords from requiring tenants to vacate ?before the date that is 30 days after the date ? that the landlord provides the tenant with a notice to vacate.? This prohibition applies only when a tenant fails to pay rent or other fees or charges due under their tenancy agreement.
