Property Ownership

In Hawaii, a 'warranty of habitability' implied in a deed of conveyance means:

AA. The seller guarantees the property will never need repairs
BB. There is no implied warranty of habitability in Hawaii deeds; it applies to landlord-tenant law✓ Correct
CC. The seller guarantees the property complies with all building codes
DD. The developer of new construction guarantees all systems for 10 years

Explanation

The implied warranty of habitability applies in the landlord-tenant context, not typically in deed conveyances for resale properties. New construction from a builder may have implied warranties.
