Explanation
Hawaii's condominium conversion regulations (HRS Chapter 514E for timeshares and conversion provisions) protect existing tenants when rental apartments are converted to condominiums. Protections typically include: right of first refusal to purchase the unit at the offered price, extended notice of the conversion, and in some cases relocation assistance. These rights balance property owner interests with tenant protections.
