When eviction cases go to court, landlords overwhelmingly win

Hawaiʻi has the highest rate of rentership in the nation, with 43 percent of residents renting the property in which they live. Last year around 1,700 of those renters were evicted by their landlord. According to a new report from nonprofit group Lawyers for Equal Justice, 95 percent of eviction cases in Hawaiʻi resulted in the tenant being evicted.
